Which firmware option do I choose for an R6120 router?

We want to do a firmware update on our netgear dual band wifi router.
There are 3 firware options to choose from.
 
We are using the Apple imac computer, apple ipad, androids cell phones, and lg smart tv with this router.
 
Which is the firmware option we need to select for the above use?

       Should make no difference.  General advice:

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look

    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:
