Firmware with .trx extension rejected by wl-500b
Hi everybody!
I have this weird problem with my wl-500b wlan router. I can't get it to accept .trx files for upload!
When I try through the web interface the upload seems to work but when the file is uploaded I get the message "Upload abort! Image file is wrong".
Next up was "firmware restoration". I put my wl-500b in rescue mode and used the restoration tool to upload my firmware.
The first thing I notice is that the file explorer of this tool only shows .img files. I can however select .trx files by selecting "all files" from the drop-down menu.
When I do select a .trx file, the tool shows the following error: "Header crc-32 error". It won't let me upload this file extension.
On the cd that came with my wl-500b I found the original firmware version in .img format. Just out of curiosity I tried to upload it and guess what... it gets accepted!
Am I missing something here? Is there a way to update my wl-500b with new firmware or am I stranded?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Greets,
