Just loaded R6300v2-V1.0.4.38_10.0.93_BETA Firmware on all three of my

The R6300v2 was released 5 years ago. v1 was 8 years ago.
At a certain point, router makers have to focus on their current devices as they couldn't afford to staff enough people to be constantly making firmware upgrades for all their devices they've ever manufactured. similar to how phone makers only doing updates for their devices for a set period of time.
If you're concerned enough about security, I'd recommend upgrading to a newer router or looking into 3rd party firmware for it.
