No.
Firmware exists simply to update the software embedded in a device. You don't need it to get things to work, only to bring them up to date.
Are you having problems? Firmware can fix those, but first you'll have to say what is going wrong.
You can read about bug fixes and stuff that Netgear has fixed with its newest firmware for this device:
