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.
Once the files are unpacked, .CHK or .IMG Should NOT be opened thus they are not currupt. These file formats are only used and opened and processed by NG devices, i.e. orbi units. So the only thing you need to do is to unpack the .zip file, then use the Orbi devcies web page to manually select these files and manually send the file to the device and manually update it. Do not attempt to open the .chk or .img file using windows explorer or any other windows applilcation. These are only used and processed by NG devices for there FW updates.

Is there any plan to fix these RBW30 firmware files?
My RBW30s won't update automatically -- message says "update failed" and I can't do the update manually because I get "...Fragments" RBW30s are currently running 2.5.0.2
