Orbi RBR750 Firmware V4.6.14.3 -> 7.2.6.21 ???

[GHTech]

Hi,

I have Orbi 1 RBR750 and 2 RBS750 on firmware version V4.6.14.3. When I try the auto update option on the app and web UI, it looks like it is up to date. When I search the NETGEAR site, it shows 7.2.6.21 as available. Should I update? 

Thanks in advance.

@michaelkenward Thanks. I did read those pages after I posted this question, and went ahead and upgraded the firmware on all 3 devices manually. Seems to be working fine. What threw me off was the fact that the version numbering changed significantly.

Me too. That usually signifies a big change. Instead it lists trivial tweaks.
