WNR2000v5 firmware update problem
I got an email about a firmware update and followed the instructions. I downloaded the file but have to browse to locate the file and nowhere does it tell me the file name to search for or what folde...
I was following the instructions in the email and that was failing. So I took your advice and downloaded the .zip file from the NetGear website - and extracted the .img - and uploaded that to the rouiter and it worked just fine.
Thanks for your help.

"getting" from what, exactly? What, exactly, does "download" mean?
Send to the router? (My D7000 (V1.0.1.50_1.0.1) says "Upload".)
If so, then that sounds like a corrupt kit. If the ".zip" archive
were corrupt/incomplete, then you should get a complaint when its
contents are extracted. An MD5 complaint points to the ".img" file
itself, which would most likely be Netgear's fault. You might try
re-extracting the ".zip" archive contents, but I wouldn't expect much to
change.
