firmware update on R6080 sticks

WhenI log into my router  it tells me there is a firmware update. 

AC1000 wifi router   model R6080

Computer is running win 7, attached via ethernet

 

I have V1.0.0.34 , it t offers    V1.0.0.38.

I click on the  button to get the update.  It begins the download, and about halfway thru it just stalls.  I  clicked cancel  and then tried again, it did the same thing.  I cancelled again and then rebooted my computer,modem and router and tried again.  It did the same thing. 
Do no know what to do.  I hesitate to just keep trying becuase I am up against a data limit with my ISP.
Can anyone help?.
