What actual firmware version is the extender on?
You might be current and not need to update.
FYI, many try to open the file to install it.
Once downloaded, right click on it to extract it. Once extracted then you log into the extender, go to firmware update in the settings, find "upload file" click on "browse" and the locate the file you extracted.
