orbi firmware update RBR50-V2.1.2.18 will not install

OS is Win10 64 bit. First the Netgear email link did not load. Second, going to Netgear website, the firmware upgrade (see above) comes as a compressed disc file, whatever that is. Third, I cannot decompress the file and when I try my computer says it is a corrupted file. Netgear problem or mine? Solutions please.

      Thanks for reply Darren. See below. I can't get past this window. So I do not know which zip program will be employed.

        Reply to myself:

        Can't unzip the file that Netgear sent.

        Why do I have to update router and satellites separately?

        This gets complicated for a device sold to the general public.
