v.88 is most current for the R8000. Had you had a R7000 any any point in history?

No. Here's a copy of part of the email I received:
Hi Ross, |
NETGEAR strongly recommends that you update to the latest firmware version for your R8000 as soon as possible. |
A Firmware update was released on Oct. 15, 2024, that addresses security vulnerabilities, however your R8000 has not been automatically updated and is running a firmware version earlier than 1.0.5.88. |

OK, Thanks. When I get on Netgears site it tells me my router is at it's "End of Life" and the firmware I'm running is the newest one listed.
