Powerline 500 XWN5001 firmware V0.4.1.1 CRC error

Hello, I have two XWN5001 wifi units, along with two XAV5201. One of the XWN5001 with firmware V0.4.0.7CE, and the other with V0.4.1.1CE. I guess CE identifies Europe; Spain in this case. So, I tried to upgrade 0.4.0.7 to 0.4.1.1 to have the same level in both. The problem is that if I discharge XWN5001-V0.4.1.1.zip from the donload center and try to unzip it, gives CRC error. I discharged some other firmwares just to see if there was any other problem in my system, and I unzip it without any problem. Any ideas? No one tried the same before?

 

  • The problem was that, indeed. Nothing to do with the download center. I restarted my firefox with add-ons inactive and everything was right.

      You're right. Something is wrong in my system. The url is just the same I tried before. Now, I could download and unzip the firmware in safe mode, not in normal mode. Maybe some add-on installed on Firefox 61.0.2  64bit. I will try with add-ons inactive. Thank you very much
