Problem with wn2000RPTv3 firmware update

Hello Everyone,

 

I am struggling in updating the firmware of my Repeater WN2000RPTv.3 in windows 10. After unzip the file downloaded from Netgear website I get a same name file with a extension img. What I get is this message: Error upgrade file module name! (Module name is"WN2000RPT")

Anyone could help me?

I appreciate very much.

Thanks

      Thanks for your reply.

      I am sure I am using the right update into the right product. This is a quite interesting question. On the rear of the extender I can only read WN2000RPT. I bought it about 5 years ago. Comparing the available models on the website I could find out that my model is the v3. So, I am struggling to update using the file wn2000rptv3-V1.0.0.18.img after unzipping the compacted file. I really don't know what's wrong.

      Thanks again
