Was there a message associated with this "an error"? Use your words.

"220" _what_? "0.5" _what_?

That might be true, but some actual evidence might be nice. If you
haven't changed the router firmware, and it worked properly at some time
in the past, then why assume that the same firmware is now the cause of
your (new) problem?
Have you tried connecting a computer directly to your modem (assuming
that you have a modem)?

You're wrong. For example, did you try a Web search for, say,
"V1.0.3.6_1.0.63CH"?
As for the error message it literally says Firmware is incorrect. I am trying to update from V1.0.3.6_1.0.63CH to Firmware Version 1.0.4.36. I have downloaded the file for that firmware version and it still wont update.
