Thank you for your reply. There is no other firmware version available in the download section of the concerned model. And when I try to do the automatic firmware upgrade without supplying  a particular version and simply letting the system look for a matching version the error is also produced. Perhaps you could give me some guidance on how exactly to do the smaller leap.

   Look again (further down)?  Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in
your 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.

    Thank you for the instructions. 

    Unfortunately not even the smallest jump (from 1.0.0.34 to 1.0.0.42) is possible. When attempting the error message is exactly the same as for the current firmware version (see attachment).

    What other problems might cause  this issue?
