Which router is this?
AC1900 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. Netgear has made a dozen or more AC1900s.
Look at the label on the device for the model number.
If you are referring to the Desktop genie for Windows, that is nothing like the latest version. I have 2.6.64

However, when I run the option to "update software", it only gets to 20% download and locks up. It doesn't finish.
My understanding is that it should be able to complete the download and provide a confirmation i.e. "Your software is up to date."
Not by any means the best way to check for firmware updates.
Experienced users prefer a manual operation:
