Your subject isn't clear. Which 6300v2 ? R, C or D.
Probably the R6300v2 – just checking.
What says "file is incorrect"? How are you going about the update?

Remember, the download is a zip file that you have to unpack. You then have to "load" the firmware file into the router. You cant just "open" it.
