With my weak psychic powers, I can't see your e-mail.

Trust no one, I always say.
What would be interesting now would be the installed firmware
version.
To see one opinion of what's current/available:
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Downloads. (For older versions, under Firmware and Software
Downloads, look for "View Previous Versions".) Find the kit(s).
Download the kit(s) you want. Read the "Release Notes" file for
instructions. (In the User Manual, look for "firmware", and,
especially, for a topic like "Manually Upload Firmware to the Router".)
When that fails because of a deficient User Manual, try:
You don't need to see the email, as the entire point is that better is emailing customers with registered devices, but not updating their applications and advertising the firmware update to devices properly.
1.0.2.82 is available https://www.netgear.com/support/download/
My r7800 says no update available, yet is on 1.0.2.80.

First they go on to the support section for a device. Then, a bit later, they go on to the update server that feeds the automated process.
But, get this, it has been known to happen the other way round.
Maybe they just want to keep us on our toes.
Is it just me or have they broken the link to the release notes?
They are in the zip file:
