RBW 30 Firmware 2.5.0.4 and 2.6.1.6 files are corrupt
Before and after unzipping firmware downloads for RBW30 versions 2.5.0.4 and 2.6.1.6, the firmware file is labeled as "Recovered File Fragments" instead of "Disk Image File" that I get when I downlo...
In file explorer I changed the extension of the unzipped firmware download file from .chk to .img
then I had to connect to each RBW30 unit individually using their respective IP addresses. From there I could work through the menus to get to manual firmware update and use the renamed .img file. The file loaded and updated.

"labeled" by _whom_? Windows? What does Windows know about what's
in that file? And what do you care how it's "labeled" by Windows?
Hint: "Disk Image File" is wrong, too.

I doubt it. There might be, if there were anything wrong them.

"[You] get" what, exactly, from what, exactly, when you do what,
exactly?
"can't" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what
you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual,
showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
descriptions or interpretations.
