Problems updating firmware using .ROS file

I have a Netgear GS752TP switch. I successfully updated the firmware from 6.0.0.31 to 6.0.0.37. I cannot seem to figure out how to update the firmware past this point. I have downloaded Versions 6.0.0.64, 6.0.1.14, 6.0.1.16, 6.0.1.24 from Netgears web site and none of them will work correctly. When I attempt the update I get an error after about 1 minute that the file format is unrecognized. I noticed that the firmware update from 31 -> .37 used a .BIX file. All of the later firmware updates use a .ROS. Does anyone know how to get past this problem?

Re: Problems updating firmware using .ROS file

There are two different hardware versions for your switch model - the older GS752TP (v1, GS752TP-100xxx) vs. the newer GS752TPv2 (GS752TP-200xxx). Yours is apparently the newer v2 variant, making use of .BIX firmware images, the current version is v6.0.0.37 as of writing - so your switch is up2date.

The other .ROS firmware images are applicable to the v1 hardware variant only, current version is v6.0.1.24 as of writing.
