When I download the newest firmware, the download is a .ZIP containing, a .CHK, and a HTML file?
My current router version is: 1.3.1.64_10.1.36....but the newer version is, 1.3.2.134. > ADMINISTRATIVE, FIRMWARE UPDATE, then after downloading the newer firmware to my DOWNLOADS, the ZIP file...
You can update your firmware manually. What do mean by the files are fragmented?

Hello Community!
Whenever I download file, usually it is an executable .exe file, or a .ZIP file, then extract it's contents into a folder on my desktop or into a another folder.
I hace attached a screen shot of what I see after I download to my Download folder. When I extract this .zip file, it shows two files. A .chk file, and a .html file. When I try to open the .chk file, I get the grey box, as you can see.
I do not think that my Win.7 Pro 64, is causing this, or maybe I do need something.
So those who think it's easy as downloading, extracting, then, RUN or SAVE this firmware, is not understanding this issue that I am experiencing.
Maybe I am doing something wrong. Based on my screen shot, stating at the top, in order, is what I have received.
AM I ONLY SUPPOSED TO GET THESE TWO, .CHK FILE, AND HTML FILES? IF SO, WHY CAN'T I OPEN AND UPDATE MY FIRMWARE?
Thank You!
