   The same as "it fails" is not an improvement over "it fails", which
is not a useful description.

  Wow, making people feel little because thay asked a question is not helpful
  
  " And you seem to be having the same difficulty in supplying a useful

  Kind of crass, and out of line for someone asking for help. My opinion
  
  _Which_ "the file"?
  
  I guess the firemware update file, hence the subject heading (Thought it was self explanatory)
  
  "tried" _how_ exactly?
  
  I've allowed the auto update to download and upgrade firmware, goes through the motion and reboots router, but no change in firmware. Then downloaded the file and manually tried to update with same results.
  Again I thought this was self explanatory
  
  The same as "it fails" is not an improvement over "it fails", which
  is not a useful description.
  
  I presumed that failing was understood from the subject heading to mean it wasn't upgrading the firmware.

       You're wrong, hence the question: _Which_ "the file"? What, exactly,
    does "the firmware update file" mean to you?
    
       These files have identifying names. With my weak psychic powers, I
    can't tell if you mean the zip archive which you downloaded, or the
    firmware image which you (should have) extracted from it, or what.
    Hence:
    
    > _Which_ "zip file"? "R7960P-V1.4.1.50_1.3.10.zip"? And then you did
    > what with it? Did you extract the firmware image file
    > ("R7960P-V1.4.1.50_1.3.10.chk") from this "zip file"?
    
       Which questions were posted before you joined the discussion. Did
    you read the discussion before joining it?
    
    > [...] Then downloaded the file and manually tried to update with same
    > results.
    > Again I thought this was self explanatory
    
       Again, "the file". The file which you download (the zip archive) is
    _not_ the file which you need to send to the router (the extracted
    firmware image file). Similarly, "tried" does not reveal which files
    you might have specified where, or which button(s) you might have
    pushed, or what happened when you did any of those things.
    
       There may some fatal flaw in the R7960P or its firmware, but without
    some actual information about what you did or what happened when you did
    it, it's very tough to tell.

       Neither is failing to answer questions which have already been asked.
    
       Are you personally offended by all criticism? Must make learning
    difficult. The problem is not asking, it's not answering when asked.
    
       "My car stopped running. I repaired the engine, but it didn't help."
    
       What do you expect anyone to do with such an information-free problem
    description?
    
       "What kind of 'repair'?"
    
       "I repaired it. I thought this was self explanatory."
    
       Guess again. It's not.
