EX2700 Firmware update V 1.0.1.58 fails
I received an email from Netgear advising me to upload the latest firmware to my extender however when I try to update to the file I downloaded from Netgear I get an error message telling me V.1.0.1.58 is not the correct firmware for my model. I have checked twice that I downloaded the file as advised on the website. Also when I log into my extender on the specified website (not allowed to name it in this message for some reason) it is showing as not secure. Any advice please?

The EX2700 firmware download is EX2700 Firmware and Software Downloads , current is EX2700 Firmware Version 1.0.1.58 ... and as it's shwon in the linked release notes, the downloaded .zip archive must be expanded, the only the .img file can be uploaded.
Thank you, I have tried that and it says the file is corrupted. It has now happened twice.

_What_, exactly, says _what_, exactly, when you do _what_, exactly?
Which "the file"?Possibly relevant:

> [...] it is showing as not secure.It's common to get complaints from a modern web browser when you use
the management web site for a Netgear gizmo, because the browser is
worried about your sending some user credentials over an
unencrypted/insecure link ("http://" instead of "https://"). The easy
thing to do is ignore the warning, and proceed. Presumably, you're
talking to your own gizmo on your own LAN. If someone can overlisten to
that local traffic, then you're already in big trouble.
