R7000 Firmware upgrade to V1.0.7.6

Downloaded again and re-flashed. Now the router screen shows the proper version and no indication of an available update.

I recieved e-mail from Netgear notifying me of update. Downloaded file and got to looking and my model is R6900. Is this a mistake on their part or does the update apply to the R6900 as well as the R7000?
There is a beta firmware update for the R6900. Please see the Security Advisory

I don't have a computer. Only iPhone & iPad. How can I upgrade the firmware for R7000
You could buy/borrow a laptop and connect that to the router via ethernet and use that to do the upgrade.
You can do it via a mobile device on WiFi but if something goes wrong, you'll likely need a computer with Ethernet to get going.
Use the router interface to look for updates directly from the router (Advanced tab, Administration, Router Update, Check) and let it do its thing. As long as nothing goes wrong or changes in your WiFi connection, it should reconnect after the install and reboot. No guarantees...
