AC1200 is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AC tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
like michaelkenward said, how are you getting this error? Are you trying to update through the app, the browser? Whats going on?
I always recommend that for updating routers to hardwire into the router and follow the manual update procedure. It tends to have the least errors/problems.
