WNR20000v5
My router has firmware version 76 loaded but the router shows version 78 is available. It downloads a zip file to my computer but I don't know how to load that into my router.

Best to use a wired Pc and web broswer and unpack the .zip file, then log into the routers web page and use the routers FW update web page to send the unpacked FW file to the router.If you're on windows, right click---->extract all.
Then follow the guide FURRYe38 gave you.
The release notes for this firmware suggest reading the manual:
WNR2000v5 Firmware Version 1.0.0.78 | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Always a good idea.
