For some reason the auto-update is stuck on the .88 version.
You can manually update if you choose. If you do, I'd do it over a hardwired connection and not using the app or over wifi. Those are where we see the most issues with corrupt firmware.

With the R7000, firmware has been an issue for a while. Many times I tell people "if its working, leave it alone", because its had so many issues with firmware changes.
