as you can see, the list is still old, did the resync cloud and still shows old titles. Will there be a fix for it? I'm on the main official firmware version (V2.3.3.136)

I believe if you go back to the beta you should see it has updated, this is because it needs 3.3 for the updated cloud system. The beta update will actually be more up to date than that version even though it appears otherwise

But is the geo filter up to date on my current firmware version? Or do I have to switch over to the beta?

It does appear to be out of date, you will need to go to the beta where it should then be updated, if not let us know

I really do wanna stay on the official firmware from Netgear. 

 

So the geo filter is out of date as well?

The Geo-Filter would still work, just some aspects like adding new games would be out of date. I do understand your hesitation, however, I am 99% certain the beta already has the security updates mentioned as when they are fixed are not when they're announced, for example:

  4. A NTGR administrator posted on the forum February 8th 2025, that they recently released a fix for PSV-2023-0039: https://community.netgear.com/discussions/en-home-nighthawk-pro-gaming-routers/security-advisory-for-unauthenticated-rce-on-some-wifi-routers-psv-2023-0039/2424716

It was ~3 years between when they fixed PSV-2023-0039 and when they announced it. Our beta version was released over a year later so by that the firmware is still up to date on security for just under another year.
