hello fbritto
Make sure you are using the firmware for the V3 not the v2 or v1.

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
