Hello.
File format from yours link (use TFTP to update firmware) should be img or chk. I receive new firmware file from netgear support to my router with format "spk". Can I use yours method or you can advice me something else.

       "this procedure", as its title should suggest, is Windows-specific.
    The Mac details can be found by following a link from:

       What's wrong with this thing that makes you want to attack it with
    TFTP?  How does the normal firmware update fail?  Visit
    http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for
    Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Read.  Look for "firmware".

      Router is from AT&T. In my settings there is no button (options) to firmware update and its say that my firmware is latest. I know that is no true. I want install the new one directly from netgear.

           I know nothing, including whether TFTP has any chance of working on
        this device.  You might find/get better answers in a more appropriate
        forum:
