I've upgraded my RBS 850 FW without problems I think.  When I download the file for the router, I don't see a file ending in .img. The router file ends in .chk.  Am I suppose to use this instead? Thanks

    Yes. Netgear uses several file types.

       The FW update instructions for the satellite says "select .img or .chk but the router instructions just say ".img". then it says "Be careful not to select wrong file". Just double checking to make sure I don't mess this up 🙂

        If you select a "wrong file", it simply will refuse to update.  Could you please do a me a favor and post a screen show showing the instructions mentioning multiple file types?
