well looks like the server web site is working now .

There are 2 web sites to get the new firmware?    http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/     with the drill down  

This gives  Firmware Version 1.0.0.36   which is an IMG file and it loaded! server now says 1.0.0.36 is the latest.firmware

The other is http://www.netgear.com/support/product/WN3000RPv2  This site gives a newer version but its WN3000RP-V1.0.2.64_1.1.86.chk 

Its a chk file.The release note even says its a chk file.

But  http://www.mywifiext.net.  won't accept it.  Popup says " Please assign the correct file.The file format is "*.img""

Changed it to .img. No GO . 

Please fix this site.

Hello Chuck12351

Can you be more clear on the process you did when trying to update the firmware so I can look into this issue.

Sever did not respond

Went to the Netgear web page support area clicked on the N 3000 . version 3 came up. Downloaded the version 3 by mistake. The zip file contain an image file. When back to the server and try to upgrade.. upgrade said it was the wrong version.

Went back to the support page and scrolled down to version 2.

http://www.netgear.com/support/product/WN3000RPv2?cid=wmt_netgear_referral?cid=wmt_netgear_organic#d...

Downloaded all versions of firmware.  all including the latest WN3000RP_V1.0.2.64_1.1.86.zip .

The zip files contained check files not image files. The upgrade button would take none of them.

Hello Chuck12351

Have you unzipped the .CHK file before trying to load it onto the extender? IS your router connected to the internet may be unable to reach our server. Have you tried to use a different web browser? you may also want to do a factory reset and then try to upload the new firmware and do the setup again.
