Firmware update fail on EX6200

Hi, I am having trouble with updating the firmware, following the Genie online and also downloading from the Netgear website, both ways fail to update the firmware

 

  • Hardware Version EX6200
  • Current Firmware Version V1.0.3.82_1.1.117
  • New firmware version 1.0.3.90_1.1.125

both ways ends in the same failure, stating invalid Firmware.  

 

i have tried on multiple web browers and through the mobile app,none are successful. 

 

The Genie app on android is no longer compatible and I cannot seem to find the EX6200 on the nighthawk app.  The username is locked "admin" to the Router R6260, and i cannot change to the username to the EX6200.

 

Any help appreciated

There's a .94 version actually posted now. 

When you download the file to manually install it, are you unzipping it? 

Some just click on it to open it.

Re: Firmware update fail on EX6200

thanks for the quick reply, however i tried and it failed

 

Firmware upgrade failed. Please check your file.

 

I downloaded and extracted the file to use only the EX6200-V1.0.3.94_1.1.128.chk.

 

any other suggestions?

Re: Firmware update fail on EX6200

have you tried a factory reset? 

Are you on windows or mac?

Factory reset has been done, and I am running Windows. I tried to use different browsers too. But that didn't work either.

I am also connected both too WiFi and Ethernet directly to the device. Not sure if that could be a factor as well?

Look at the label on it, which version is it? the firmware matches version 2 but I just want to make sure. 

Have you tried a different device.

Re: Firmware update fail on EX6200

I don't think it is V2 as no indication on the back. Also the V2 firmware available for download don't match the sequence. I tried anyhow to update the firmware for V2 and it failed as well.

I have logged in through my android phone and tried auto update and also to link the file, and still failed.

I think I have run out of options
