Firmware update
When I check for New Firmware using the APP on my phone, I get this message.
There was a problem checking for firmware update.
When I tried to download the firmware...
The ZIP file contains
"Recovered File Fragments"
"Release Notes"

When you download it, it should download as a zip file. Extract that file.
Then follow the manual update option.

the recovered file fragment is just how windows identifies it. Its in a .chk format that you upload to your router.
