You can try recovering it with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

Hi there
I just tried to flash it but it is coming up that the firmware download is corrupted
what is telling you its corrupted?
If you're able to go through the extenders interface, then you don't need tftp.
So whats telling you this?
