Looking at the links I provided, there is a V1.0.1.6, without the extra bit, for the R6400.
If you can see that information in the browser, you can tell the router to update itself. (Details in the manual on the page I linked to.) It should offer you the latest firmware that your current firmware will accept.
With luck you can skip the last five versions.
