My RAX80 will NOT upgrade to this.

I'm afraid that "will NOT upgrade" doesn't help when trying to debug your problem.

 

What are you doing and what happens when you try?

When the router tries to perform self update, it states no new firmwares available.

 

When I try to manually do it, it says the FW file is wrong and will not update.

 

This router is garbage.

    This is usually a sign that someone is trying to apply firmware for a different device, that they have got a corrupt download file, or they are trying to upload the whole zipped download rather than the unpacked firmware bit.

    I think the last firmware that worked with network storage was 1.0.1.64.  I had to downgrade to that version, and have not moved off that firmware because it had been the most stable for me.
