RBW30 - Firmware Update .chk vs .img
orbilogin.net will not update from firmware version 2.5.0.2 for RBW30 satellite to 2.5.0.4. Auto update on internet states failed update. Tried manual, but zip file yields a .chk file. When you click ...
What happens if you rename the .chk file to a .img file? Just rename the extension of the file.

When you click on upload message comes back that I need a .img file. I am working with Windows 10 on a 64 bit platform. Tried changing the file extension to .img, but got a message back that it was now the wrong file.

This is part of the bizzare nature of the Orbi product line. The RBW30 product actually has firmware with "chk" extension. And, as he indicated, it did update when he moved the satellites around. (Personally) I think some engineer over in a corner developed the RBW30 product (or Netgear purchased it from somebody) and that's just "the way it is."
Ya I know. odd they used a different file extension. Though sometimes renaming can work.
