Thank you for asking.  I have the exact same question and do not want to download something that isn't needed.  I use the NetGear Genie and it says my 1.0.3.4 version is the most current/ up to date.  Do I leave it along or 'go back' to this 1.0.3.26  Thank you to anyone who can give us a CONCRETE answer.
