I tried unzipping the files and all I get is a message "The disc image is corrupted."

Is this update a joke?

You might try downloading again.

I can't say it's a joke but after messing with it I went back to an earlier version. I'll probably keep it on until I decide to replace the orbi with something else.

glenfaj26 @You are assuming that your Your Orbi has the same CPU architecture as your PC.
The disc image will work on Orbi's ARM CPU not on an PC's Intel x86 CPU.

  It still should unzip. That's just an application. You have to unzip it to load. I don't think they said they were trying to run the image.

    bolingde Just to elaborate.
    
    The PC thinks the file is corrupted because it tried to mount the file. Please look closely at the header of the error message pop-up which says "Couldn't mount file".
    
    Probably the default action when a disk image file is selected.

DO NOT TRY TO UNZIP THE .IMG FILE. This file is already compiled and used by the RBRs web page. Just unzip the .zip file only. The IMG file is the acutal FW file.
