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?
The only file I see on the desktop ends in .chk
Thanks for posting the image. That appears to be a generic Netgear "knowledgebase" article.
I have not learned a reason for the difference, but different models of Netgear router have different image file formats. The original Orbi routers and satellites used "img" files, and (dumb me) when people asked about working on their AX products, I assumed that they also used "img" file format. But, oh no, the AX uses "chk". Whatever format is inside the "zip" file is the correct format for that product.
