RUTX11 firmware mismatching checksums

[jrussell88]

I’m setting up a RUTX11 and started by updating the firmware. The router is connected to my laptop by cable, but not on mobile data.

I downloaded the two most recent firmware files to my laptop:
RUTX_R_00.07.04.3_WEBUI.bin
RUTX_R_00.07.04.5_WEBUI.bin
and checked their MD5 and SHA256 checksums against the list here: https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/RUTX_Firmware_checksum_list

The checksums match, however when I upload the firmware file to the RUTX11, the checksums calculated by the RUTX11 differ, although the RUTX11 reports that validation succeeded:

FLASH NEW FIRMWARE IMAGE

CONFIGURATION SETTINGS

Configuration files will be kept.

VALIDATION SUCCEEDED

Below is the checksum and file size listed, compare them with the original file to ensure data integrity.
Checksums:
MD5: 70af9e5d710f9aa1327980a08df99d60
SHA256: b1babbcc073bea8d8a2930cde37060aea957b438942718dde7eec37a84e597f6
Size: 23.23 MB available

AUTHORIZED FIRMWARE

Uploaded firmware is digitaly signed and authorized by Teltonika Networks.

Why is this?

TIA

I tried the OTA update. It came up with the same checksums as my downloaded and uploaded files, which differ from the expected, those which are actually calculated from the firmware file and listed by Teltonika.

I went ahead with the update, keeping settings and it went smoothly. So seems to be a problem with the firmware’s calculation of checksums.
