    no model told (vast exist)
    why not go to netgear.com
    and 1: read your manual.
    then see if such upgrade is there.

    the manual covers this.
    most routers, and the like (extenders)
    the routers web page inside it has page called settings and upgrade.
    you click upgrade and it tells you , none found. or has one.

    some routers (etc) have usb port
    and if the firware.rom is on the USB stick inserted this auto updates the router
    but no router extender model; told.

    the router as a sticker on the rear
    read it and tell what states.
    maker and full model, and version
    some routes, you must never mix versions of firmware, this is hardware version/
    if HW is V1 do not load v2 firmware or you brick the router.
