Hey, Guru?
When I log in to to my router, I am given the option of automatic or manual update. Automatic says there is no new firmware, but according to what it says is the current firmware version (4.6.11.1) and what the Netgear website says is available, (4.6.14.3) there clearly IS a new firmware update. However when I go to do the manual update I get a warning:
"Uploading a firmware manually may cause incompatibility issues among Orbi devices. NETGEAR strongly suggests using Online Update to update your firmware. Do you still want to proceed? "
This makes me nervous.
Is it safe to proceed?
