Firmware update failure for AC 1750

I have been trying to update the firmware on my AC 1750 R6400 using Nighthawk. Nighthawk apparently has found my router as itannounces Firmware Out of Date, but will not cnnect to routerlogin.net. I check set up as suggested and it confirms that it is connected but will not advance to opening the link.  Suggestions greatly appreciated.

       "R6400" or "R6400v2"?  Look at the product label.

       "Nighthawk" the app?  I'd try a web browser.

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
    and look for Downloads.  (For older versions, under Firmware and
    Software Downloads, look for "View Previous Versions".)  Find the
    kit(s).  Download the kit(s) you want.  Read the "Release Notes" file
    for instructions.
