latest firmware version number please
Hi, I want to be sure Netgear Genie and Nighthawk app are correct when they say there are no firmware updates available for the R6400 router I have. I'm wondering because I got an email saying an update was available however when I use the firmware assistant to check for updates it says none available. Perhaps this is because I have auto update enabled, but I just want to be 100% sure I have the latest update with the most enhanced security features. Right now I have firmware version V1.0.1.62_1.0.41". What is the latese firmware version number currently available as of 3/27/2021? Thank you in advance.

Only a couple of steps behind.To see one opinion of what's current/available:
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. (In the User Manual, look for "firmware", and,
especially, for a topic like "Manually Upload Firmware to the Router".)
When that fails because of a deficient User Manual, try:
