Xr500 login help
Hi guys
I have the xr500 was all set up working (not great by the way) but have since changed computers and when i try and download the latest firmware it says the file is corrupted or it thinks its a disc.
I also tried routerlogin.net with admin and password and i cant get that to log in either.
any help appreciated.

You don't open the file after download.
After you download it, you extract it. then you follow the manual update process.

correct it should be an img file or chk file.
You upload that to the router.
