Corrupted Firmware
After downloading 2.5.1.8 firmware from the RBR50 website, the router gave me a error 500 when I tried to upload the firmware to the router hte second time it . Is there a fix? Thanks
There is nothing to lose by trying a different browser.
I would download and unzip it again.
.... and if possible do the update with a wired connection using a browser rather than a mobile app.
Read the Release Notes for instructions.

Thanks for posting the screen shot. That indeed appears to be the correct image file name for the RBR50 router and 2.5.1.8 firmware. Can you post a screenshot of the 500 error? I sometimes download so many copies of things that I get confused about "which one do I want" and keep opening the wrong one. I have had to deliberately purge all previous copies and download again so that I have only one file to choose from.
