Firmware xr1000 V.1
Need help windows 11 when I download the firmware I’m on .74 was going to 82 before stepping up to the latest but I was able to extract the file I think but not sure which to use. I’m disabled and have no one smart enough to assist. I work from home. This is my fav router I’m hoping to get help. Please anything anyone?
When the Firmware Update asks you to Browse and select the file, pick the one with the "chk" extension.

Last time I tried It booted off never came back on. I power cycle and it came back with .74 firmware. I have left it alone since. Problem is it keeps loosing IPv6 and only way to get back is to power cycle. Should I factory reset then try and upload the firmware? Many thanks to you in advance
