unable to install firmware hotfix

D6220 Firmware Version 1.0.0.56 - Hot Fix

I am trying to install this security hotfix but the downloaded zip file, when opened produces a file name ending in .chk. When I try to upload this in the router's gui it gives an error message saying the fiename is invalid and should end with *.img. Can anyone help please?

       Onto _what_, exactly?  Look for "Model" on the product label.

       "D6200" and "D6220" are spelled differently for a reason.  The D6200
    seems to use a ".img" file; the D6220, a ".chk" file.

       Loading a firmware image for the right device might help some.
