RBS40V-200NAS Firmware Update

It's recomened that you update the Firmware, however, this is stated in the instructions: "Do not use a computer that is connected wirelessly to the router to upload the firmware. A wireless firmware update might corrupt the router’s firmware, rendering it unusable." All of my compters are wireless. What is the solution ?

    1. Gamble. Not recommended on here but many update over wireless. It does have an increased risk of firmware corruption. 

    2. buy a usb---ethernet adapter and hardwire into it to update. The adapter can come in handy at other times as well. 

    3. borrow a laptop with a ethernet port to update.
