RBS40V firmware V2.5.1.6

Using orbilogin.com to check on firmware updates for my RBR50, RBS50 & RBS40V, I see that there is a firmware update to the Orbi Voice, to V2.5.1.6, from V2.5.1.2. My other two devices are at V2.5.1.16.

 

All devices are actually working quite well, and backhaul status is GOOD on both satellites.

 

Curious what is in this update?

Any ill experiences?

What does this fix, or add?

In short, ought I update this firmware?

I did the update and haven't had any issues. here's the release notes:

 

Bug Fixes:

  • The RBS40V sometimes broadcasted a non-secured SSID when connecting to the Orbi network.
  • The device link rate sometimes displayed incorrectly for devices connected to the RBS40V.
  • KKBOX could not be displayed in the Orbi app in the Macau area.
  • Fixes some security issues.
