I have been away from BBHN for several years. My WRT54G 4-node network is running on 1.0.0. I want to upgrade all nodes to the latest firmware which appears to be 3.1.0.

When I visit the firmware download page for Linksys, the only firmware I see to upgrade an exiting mesh node is bbhn-3.1.0-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx. When I download this file it gets saved under the filename bbhn-3.1.0-brcm-2.4-squashfs.man on my laptop (the suffix changes from .trx to .man).

When I use localnode8080 to connect to a node, go to Administration>Firmware Update, select the bbhn-3.1.0-brcom-2.4-squashfs.man file and click Update, I receive an error message saying "Firmware CANNOT be updated - the uploaded file is not recognized."

Do I need to upload interim releases

instead of trying to go directly from 1.0.0 to 3.1.0? Any help would be appreciated.

I resolved the issue. Microsoft Edge was changing the suffix from .trx to .man on the 3.1.0 firmware file as it was being saved to my PC. I switched the browser to Firefox which saved the file with the .trx suffix as it should be. Uploads of the new 3.1.0 firmware to the WRT54G nodes proceeded normally after making this discovery.
