       Who, exactly, says what, exactly?  Windows File Explorer?  What does
    _it_ know, other than that the file type is ".chk"?

       Yup.  RTFM failure.

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look

    "Upgrade the Router Firmware", and use the manual ("Locate and select
    [...]") method.
