How to find the router firmvare Version?
There are notes on this Forum that Netgear has updated "from the WEB" the firmware of some WNR2000v3 routers to the last and necessary version 1.1.2.14 so that the users do NOT need to do any update ...

That address is a local one. It is on your network. It is not somewhere out in the Internet.
You should not need to go to 192.168.1.1
Did you try the other links?
http://www.routerlogin.com/
or
http://www.routerlogin.netJust click them. They are also local addresses, so no risk of nasties. They are Netgear's way of making it "easier" to get your browser to control your router.

But unfortunately being a "computer dummy" I do NOT know and coud NOT find instructions - HOW TO DETERMINE MY ROUTER FIRMWARE VERSION.
If you can login to the router's web interface – you'll need to that to update the firmware – the hardware version is at the top of the page.
The manual for your device is here:

Unfortunately that IF is what I can not overcome and am asking about - how to login to my router interface.
May you help me with exact steps.
Many thanks for attention and the speedy reply.
If using a wired lan cable to connect your computer to the router you will need to use a web browser and go to the ip address 192.168.1.1, you should see a request for your user's name and password they will be whatever you set them to when you set up the router. If router is running with default settings the user's name will be admin and the password will be password.
If you can not remember the user's name and password you my have to reset the router and start from default settings and rest up the router.
If more information is need please review the router log in selection of the above lnks for the manuals they should help some.

May you try yourself this 192.168.1.1. link and explain why I get a different (if so) result.
With many thanks

Read page 29 of the manual at the end of the link I gave you.
Point your browser at one of these links:
http://www.routerlogin.com/
orhttp://www.routerlogin.net
If they don't work, then the IP address might be an option. Here the usual suspects are:
http://192.168.0.1
or
http://192.168.1.1
