    Most firmware updates are Binary Files, and have a “.bin” file extension. The update procedure is built-in to the router itself, and it’s all explained in the Router User Manual.
    TIP: If the file ends in “.exe”, OS X can’t run Windows “.exe” software, so run the firmware update from a Windows PC, or Windows under Boot Camp.

    Log into your router. There should be a spot where you can apply the update to the router in a similar manner that is used to upload an email attachment.

    Don’t open it just click cancel. Then go to 192.168.1.1 or what ever your router’s ip is. Then log in, the default password is usually admin for name and a blank password or reverse it blank name and admin for the password. On the most common router, the WRT54G you click on administration on the top and then firmware upgrade. Then click choose file and click on the unopened .bin file. DO NOT uncompressed the .bin file it must be the original compressed .bin file or you could ruin the router!.
