Hi michaelwong,
Make sure to unzip the downloaded file. The file that should be loaded on the router has the .chk extension.

Hard to understand what you are saying without the picture that has yet to arrive.
The user manual tells you how to do a manual firmware flash:

See page 133.

The firmware downloaded from Netgear support should be valid. However, the update is not working.
