Thank you for the response.
Using the routerlogin.net sent me to Netgears web login page - so I used http://192.168.1.1 address, logged in and instead of just clicking the Upgrade available tab, I went into administration and tried to Update router. Same result as I reported earlier - just cycles approx every 10 sec flashing the 192.168.1.1 address in the lower left corner of the screen.
I did notice that the connection showed "unsecure" or unlocked in the web address window although it was by ethernet connection. Not sure that would make any difference.

That's why I said manually updating. You download the update yourself, extract it, and then manually upload it to your router.
