That looks more likely to be a firmware version for a D7000v2 than
for a D7000[v1]. (Does your "routerlogin.net" have only one "panel"?)
> I have since downloaded the files from: [...]
Firmware for a D7000[v1].

Because it's for a D7000[v1], and that's what a D7000[v1] uses.

Because it's for a D7000[v1], and you apparently have a D7000v2.
> I can't find a .chk firmware upgrade file on the Internet.
You looked everywhere on the whole Internet?
