If this isn't real, then would it be possible to end up with 5.12.4 if you don't have that version?

Sure it would be. If you don't want 5.12.4, then don't play Guineas Pig. I will put my PW3 on wifi, since it already has 5.12.4.

How long does it take to get firmware OTA? Seems like it takes way too long.

As reported here many times over many years, between seconds and many weeks.

I've been charging my PW3 with WiFi on and no newer firmware. The PW3 is running 5.11.1.1.

Well, it obviously hasn't been many weeks yet, so what did you expect?

I expected older firmware to get updated fairly quickly. But obviously that's not the case. The last time I turned on WiFi on a different PW3, the firmware updated very quickly.

Downloading the update itself usually goes really quick. You will get it as soon as you connect. What takes weeks is getting your device on the list to be updated.

So why is it so slow to get on the list and is there anyway to speed up getting on the list?

Ask Amazon. It makes sense to stagger updates as to not kill the bandwith of the servers. What metric Amazon uses is up to anyones guess. Closely guarded secret. For all I know it could be Amazon employees playing D&D and rolling dice.

Because 5.13.1 is not available to download for the PW3. It might be on the oTA server if the one post on an obscure Russian forum can e believed.
