Update for wnr2000v5 does not extract for firmware 1.0.0.58
My model number is not recognized in the Model field in this form - wtf! It is WNR2000v5 I've just downloaded the update firmware WNR2000v5-V1.0.0.58.img and my iMac (MacOS Sierra 10.12) says "image...

Read the instructions (in the "Release Notes") which come in the

To those who suggested I read the accompanying file in the folder... thank you. As another feed stated, Apple, once upon a time did use .img for an image file - I've been around a long time - and since has change the image extension to .dmg. Anyway, now knowing it is not an "disk image" file, I followed the instructions and after finally realizing what the login info for www.routerlogin.net is (it's simpler than you'd think, especially if you never created your own login info for it - hint: you'll find it in the Netgear Genie app as the default login info under one of those buttons) I was able to proceed with no issues whatsoever. Thanks again for the sage advice. I'm now updated.
One addendum - make sure to quit the Netgear Genie app before going to www.routerlogin.net or else you will not be able to proceed.
I have been unable to update my router. I have downloaded the zip folder & gone to the routerlogin page. Neither has benefited me. The webpage was not able to be found. When I attempted to update it via Netgear Genie, it states that my router is unsupported or not found. So my question is, how can I update my router if I can not login into my Netgear Genie account & the zip folder will not open/run?

Did you read the previous postings in this thread?

Which "the routerlogin page"? I'll assume that you're looking at
something like: ADVANCED > Administration > Firmware Update.

What, exactly, does "the zip folder will not open/run" mean? As
usual, showing actual actions with their actual results (error messages,
...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.
As previously explained, you should not be pointing your "Netgear
Genie" web interface page to "the zip folder".
You should extract the contents of the zip archive, and, first, read
the instructions in the "Release Notes" file there. Then, point the
"Netgear Genie" web interface page to the ".img" file (not to the ".zip"
archive).
If you need help extracting the files from the ".zip" archive, then
say which operating system you're using.
