Ok so CrimpOns firmware worked :). Both firmwares ended in .img but they updated fine. So thank you both for your help :).
Before I finish off, since I have two experts here I might as well ask if these settings below (see picture) are best for this router :).
Edit: Ok so I am trying to upload a picture but it says "media upload in progress, please wait a few minutes" and nothing else happens. If I wait the page just reloads after awhile and both this answer and the picture I want is not there, tried uploading from computer and also as a file. So I will have to try uploading it later.
