netgear WN2000RPT firmware update - error firmware region! Any solution?

I have a WN2000RPT Wifi Range Extender which is currently running firmware version V1.0.0.24IC.  As far as I can tell, it is a v1.

 

According to the status panel, the region is "United States".

 

I am trying to update the firmware.  I see 2 files/versions, one for North America (WN2000RPT-V1.0.1.24NA.img) the other for elsewhere (WN2000RPT-V1.0.1.24.img).  No matter which one I try, I get the a firmware region error.  

 

I have looked all over and can't find a solution.  Any ideas?

 

Thank you in advance for the assistance.

      Thank you very much for the suggestion - however that didn't help for me.

       

      I downloaded the latest firmware for the v3 - 1.0.1.34.  When I tried to upload that file "WN2000RPTv3-V1.0.1.34.img", I get an error "Error upgrade file module name! (Module name is "WN2000RPT")"

       

      For kicks, I tried to rename img file, removing the v3 from the name, then I am back to the "error firmware region!" error.

       

      Just in case - this is too much of a jump in firmware versions, I tried the same 2 things with the WN2000RPTv3-V1.0.1.4 firmware, and got the same results.

       

      Thank you again for the help, but I am still stuck and unable to do the firmware upgrade.

       

      See below for the relevant portion of the status screen of my device.

        I was hoping that I would be able to get a solution for this, now my hope is fading (unfortunately).
