EX2700
I received a email update for security firmware update on 12/31/20. However I was unable to try to download and install the update until today. When I try to download it from the email link I get a message that the link has expired.So I opened the Netgear download page & found what I think is the latest download update for my EX2700 Extender. However, when I download it, and try to open the download file, I get a message that the file is corrupted. So any suggestions about what I should do?
The router assigns an IP address to the extender once its connected. So it won't have the default ip address.
Log into your router and find its attached devices page (or equivelent) and it should show the ip address for the devices connected. That'll have the IP address for the extender

What actual firmware version is the extender on?
You might be current and not need to update.
FYI, many try to open the file to install it.
Once downloaded, right click on it to extract it. Once extracted then you log into the extender, go to firmware update in the settings, find "upload file" click on "browse" and the locate the file you extracted.
There's actually a video walk through on the support site for the EX2700.

Might be easier to use than the router guide :)
I can't log in to my extender despite I'm connected to the extender's Wi-Fi network. Tried logging in via the extender's default IP address but still wouldn't connect. Saw the installation Video-no help. Any any other suggestions?
I have no idea of what firmware version the extender is on no the model. Since it is serving it's pupose for me with no problems, I guess I'll give up trying to do the udpate. Certainly not impressed with Netgear.
