Can I update R6400 running firmware: V1.0.1.6_1.0.4 directly to R6400-V1.0.1.24?

My first attempt to update the R6400 router firmware from  V1.0.1.6_1.0.4 to R6400-V1.0.1.24 failed with the result: "Incorrect version." Is R6400-V1.0.1.24 a cumulative update containing all previous updates or must previous updates be installed first?

 

I am connected via ethernet from a Win-10 PC running a Firefox browser.

    After the firmware update failed last night, I wanted to make sure that it was ok to install v1.0.1.24 on top of 1.0.1.6. With that assurance, I repeated the update procedure today and it worked.

     

    Thanks.

    There's 2 versions of this router. A v1 router will just have the router model - R6400. A v2 router will have v2 in the model number: R6400V2. Check the bottom of your router to see what version you have. Download the firmware to your desktop / laptop and upgrade..
