Netgear49 - how can I find out if I have been receiving updates?

I have a Netgear49 and want to find out if I have been receiving updates.  Purchased it 4.5 years ago.

    Netgear49 would be the ssid (wireless name). 
    Look at the label and it'll have the mode. 

    What firmware version are you on? 

    There's a support site with access to manuals, firmware, install guides, etc.
    Go to https://www.netgear.com/support/
    Type in your model number and from there it'll take you to the above.
    Its a great resource to start with.
