So I see that Netgear released a hot fix on 7/2/20 to patch these things: PSV-2019-0296, PSV-2020-0001, 0009, 0108, 0118, 0119 ZDI-CAN-9642, 9643, 9618, 9703, 9756, 9767, 9768 I downloade...

So I rebooted the router and tried the very latest firmware update again. It worked this time for some reason. Go figure. Thanks for the assistance!

weren't, then I'd expect a different error message), it would appear
that the router is confused to the point where it can't tell "correct"
from incorrect. Or your ".chk" file is corrupt. You did extract yours
from the ".zip" archive, right? (Not just renamed something else to
".chk"?)
I replied to this earlier today and now I see that the reply is no longer in this thread so here it is again...
I re-downloaded the latest hot fix and extracted it (I didn't rename the .zip file) and tried manually installing it and still get the same error message. I also tried reinstalling the current version I'm already running and I get the same error with that too. I didn't have any problems updating to my current version before but that one was installed through the router admin and was downloaded and installed that way, not manually.
