R6900P Firmware Upgrade Order

Question

My R6900P router currently has firmware version V1.3.2.134

Both the Nighthawk app and the NetGear Genie app report that the firmware is up to date.

However, the NetGear support page lists V1.3.3.140 and V1.3.3.148 as also available.

I'm wondering if I it is ok to manually update from V1.3.2 to V1.3.3 with no issues?

And if so, do I have to update to V1.3.3.140 and then go to V1.3.3.148 in sequence?

Thanks. It would be helpful if their support page told you which prior versions can update to the listed version.

Manual update is the method I usually recommend. Especially if you can do it hardwired.&nbsp;
You should be able to jump all the way to the latest version (.148) without issues

Thanks, I know how to do it, was just wondering if it was ok to do it. Didn’t know if I could go from 1.3.2 to 1.3.3

should be able to. Its pretty rare to have to go in a stepped system. Only usually happens if they have to extend the firmware partition. And that doesn't happen often.
