Brand new R8500 - says kong file isnt valid...

Hi,

 

Just got a brand new R8500, and it has stock FW version 1.0.2.86_1.0.75.  When I download the kong rom located here:

 https://www.myopenrouter.com/download/dd-wrt-kong-mod-netgear-r8500-2017...

I upload the dd-wrt.K3_R8500.chk file, and the router says:  The firmware is not compatiable with your router. Error code -2.

Any thoughts?
