1. Are you extracting the firmware prior to trying to install it? Once you download it, you need to extract the zip file before trying to upload it to the device. You can't just double click on it. If you're on windows, right click and go to extract. 

2. It might be time for an upgrade. The v9 you're on was released in 2008, the original was released in 2003 when windows xp was still in use. We've advanced from wireless g---->wireless N---->wireless AC------wireless AX.  its a bit dated and probably put its time in being a 11 year old device.
