R6700AX Firmware Update 1.0.19.172 Legit?
On May 20 my R6700AX reported a firmware update from 1.0.18.164 --> 1.0.19.172
but
https://www.netgear.com/support/product/r6700ax/#download
still reports 1.0.18.164
Just want to confirm that this is a legit firmware update...
NG sometimes will push new FW out to a limited amount of users. If all is good, then NG will post up on the download site.

Thank You FURRYe38 - Okay, yes, firmware installed with no problem and all systems running normally...
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
