RAX20: Firmware Upgrade Failure, 1.0.3.96_2.1.46.1 GUI Language File Invalid
Just attempt a FW upgrade using the Router Update function within the RAX20. Upgrade fails indicating that the GUI Language File is invalid. Is anyone having the same issue?

Have you tried manually updating?

Thanks for the quick response.
I was reluctanct to try the manual update as the issue was an invalid GUI Language File.
I just tried the update manually several times.
Unfortunately, The downloaded file in the zip file comes through as a recovered file fragment.
There is not a valid .bin file in the zip file.
Any other thoughts?
I just tried it on mine and it'll show as a .chk file if you extracted it properly. (windows might not interpret it correctly). step 11 of the manual firmware process goes over it'll be either a .img or a .chk file.
Then follow the manual update process and use that chk file.
