This firmware file is incorrect! Please get the firmware file again and make sure it is the correct firmware for this product.
I tried using the zip file, the chk and also renamed it to img. How do I get this upgraded?
Do not rename the firmware image file. For some (never explained) reason, firmware for the RBW30 actually does have a *.chk file extension. Whoever made this decision has probably "moved on" and the support engineers are simply stuck with it (and the resulting chaos).
Try this:
- Discover the actual IP address of the RBW30 satellite.
- Open a browser to http://<ip of BRW30>
- Select the bottom menu item, "Firmware Update"
- When it comes time to browse to the file, select the *.chk file
