I just bought a new Netgear Nighthawk AC1900

What does it mean when your firmware is out of date on your device?

       "AC1900" is a speed, not a model number.  Look for "Model" on the
    product label.  Current firmware version?

       Normally, it means that newer firmware is available for it.  Who said
    what, exactly?

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
    and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.
    Look for "firmware"?
