RBK753S (AX4200) 3.2.18.1 firmware is found via update check, but NOT on RBK753 Downloads page yet?

I have an Orbi RBK753S and noticed via a firmware update check via the Orbi's admin page (192.168.1.1) that there is a version 3.2.18.1 (signed).

However, when I checked the 'Downloads' page for the RBK753S (link below) to check the 'release notes' for firmware 3.2.18.1, the latest firmware shown for the RBK753S is 3.2.17.12? There is no info yet on 3.2.18.1

People who are seeing the release notes for 3.2.18.1, are finding them for OTHER models such as the 840 and 850, NOT 753S...

I do not want to assume that 3.2.18.1 for RBK753S has exactly the same changes as 3.2.18.1 for the 840 and 850 series...

Can Netgear Support please confirm what changes fw 3.2.18.1 contains for RBK753S or better yet post the release notes for 3.2.18.1 here:

Thanks!

  • Netgear support is rarely on here as this is the community forum. 

    Sometimes you see the auto-update server get updates before it hits the manual firmware server (support site).

    Other times its vice versa. 

    If you're wanting the release notes, its a matter of waiting for when its pushed to the support site server.

      Thanks.

      I just upgraded from an AC3000 Orbi RBK53 to the AX / Wifi 6 RBK753S, so let me first update to 3.2.17.12 and see how that goes...
