Yes, whichever group of engineers developed the RBW30 (wall plug) satellite named the firmware file with a "chk" file extension.
Rather than use the Orbi "app" to update firmware on the RBW30, can you attach directly to the RBW39 with a web browser (by using the actual IP address of the RBW30, such as http://192.168.1.xx (where 'xx' is the IP address of the satellite). Then select the Firmware Update menu from the satellite web page.

Perfect! Thanks so much for the suggestion, it worked like a charm. I was using the web browser, but logged in to network using the manual update. Didn't realize I could go to the satelite directly. Such a simple solution.
Thanks again.
