Hi Christian,
Thank you for your response. I have a stupid question. The file saved as this: R6700v3-V1.0.4.92_10.0.67_Beta and the type is Compressed (zipped) Folder. When I select that after clicking on Browse from your instructions, and click Upload, it says Please assign the correct file. The file format is *.chk Do you know what I did wrong or do I need to do something to the compressed folder before trying to upload?
Hi Christian,
Please ignore that last question (stupid question), I think I figured it out! Thanks again!

Not much detail there.
> 8. Unzip the file if needed.
Lame instructions. More helpful might be something like, say:
8. Extract the firmware image (".chk" or ".img") and Release
Notes (".html") files from the ".zip" archive, if necessary.
(Some web browsers do this automatically.)More detailed instructions on how to do that wouldn't hurt, either.
