Do I need to update my baseband version?

[AC Question]

I have a rooted Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T) with baseband G900TUVS1FOL1. From my research, that baseband is for android 5.1, which is what I was on, when I rooted my phone. I have been using CM13 nightlies, but lately, I have been noticing some issues, mainly with Wifi. I was wondering if I should upgrade my baseband to the Android 6 version, or if I even can? Is there a way to upgrade basebands without flashing the stock rom? Thanks.

There have been issues with CM13 for the last 10 days or so as the dev's have been updating the kernel with the latest MM release. I am on the international, G900F, model and have had problems with Wi-Fi and bluetooth. There is no need to update to stock MM and re-flash CM13 as it should work on the Lollipop bootloader and modem. However, for the time being and until the dev's can sort things out, I have reverted back to the 5th June nightly which is the last bug free release.

Strange! I can only find CM13 release on the official CyanogenMod download site for the HTC Max (Verizon) model, t6vzw, here. Have you flashed an unofficial ROM?
