RBR40 2.5.1.16 Firmware

I have a RBR40 router.  My Model was not available in the selection above so chose a similar product.

When I logged into my router it stated that there is no new firmware updates available, but when I check Netgear.com downloads for the latest firmware it lists that Firmware 2.5.1.16 is the latest version.  I downloaded the latest firmware file. When I try to do a manual upload, my RBR40 router is not listed, only the satelittes are showing. 

 

Why?   How do I load the latest firmware to my router?  Is there a need to loaded the latest firmware?

On my Orbi web interface, the Manual Update page has a blue line across the page.  ABOVE the line, the instructions say, "To update the router...."  UNDER the blue line there is a box for each satellite.  See attached screen shot.
