Latest Firmware for VR900

Via the web interface on my router it says :
Archer VR900 v2 00000000
0.1.0 0.9.1 v0069.0 Build 160525 Rel.38143n
however on the TP Link site it says :
Archer VR900 (EU) V2 Build 160721 offered as the original and only firmware !!
I am confused , my router says build 160525 and TP Link site says Build 160721.
I have tried to check this via the interface in the router and it says I am up to date ?
So what is correct , or am I reading it wrong ?
Does the online interface not work that checks and allows you to update the firmware or do I have to manually download the firmware from the site and apply it ?

Hi Dacsoft,
Have you tried scrolling down a bit whilst hovering mouse over "system tools " there is another tab below where you are looking that gives this :
PICTURE 1
You then need to go here and get the update file and save it on your Desktop :
http://uk.tp-link.com/download/Archer-VR900_V1.html#Firmware
PICTURE 2
Then Unzip the file on your desktop and you will see a " bin " file like this :
PICTURE 3
Use the browse button and select this bin file on your desktop and everything else is automatically done .
Follow instructions in pdf , don't forget to backup your config file first by using the next tab down
"Backup and Restore " so your settings on router can be reinstalled easy if they get deleted during the update.
They don't usually and I have updated both my v1 and v2 VR900's recently .
Not sure about a v3 but both v1 and v2 are different routers , white is v1 and black is v2 ,
the only difference is one of the Broadcom chips inside which is slightly newer on the v2
If you go to here there is a discussion on VR900 :
http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,15833.90.html
The Interfaces look very similar if not identical and both perform the same on my 80/20 VDSL line.

Question?
V1 and V3 have differences on hardware part. No way to upgrade the hardware part.
How do I upgrade from V1 to V3?
