Have a WN300RP and haven't ever updated the firmware and now get the downloaded file open.
My wifi extender WN3000RP has never really performed well consistently. I haven't ever down loaded any firmware updates. I am trying it now. I can down load the file. Unzip it. But when I try to open the file, it tells me there's no program associated witht he .chk file. That's as far as I can get. What am I missing? How do I get the downloaded file to execute?
When I try to access mywifiext.net, it asks for user name and password. I tried my Netgear user name and password with no luck. What am I suppose to use? I'm stumped.

You don't execute it on your computer. You have to upload it using the firmware updater on the WN3000RP.
