Firmware update
Rec'd email to update firmware but zip file won't open. Updated 1/11/2017 and 6/26/2017 but unable to now. How do I know what version mine is at this point?
Thanks ... I finally remembered the login for the routerlogin section..I was having trouble logging in to that area. Then I was able to search for newest version and update the firmware all right.
I received a notice of a security upgrade. I followed the instructions and got a response that I had the current upgrade. The version I have is 1.0.9.12_1.2.23. I searched the site and found a newer version 1.09.14_1..2.25. I downloaded it (zip file to my computer) and extracted the files. One of the files extracted is named R7000-V1.0.9.14_1.2.25.chk and the file type listed is "fecovered file fragments". Two questions. First, why is the upgrade not detected? Second, is the downloaded file referenced above safe to install?
