Cannot Flash Nighthawk R7000p AC2400

So i thought i did my research. But obvoiously not good enough. 

Was looking to buy a router i would flash with DD-WRT. 

I bought Netgear Nighthawk R7000P AC2400.

Ive come to find out it will ONLY allow .img files to be uploaded. 

Ive searched and searched and dont see many others reporting this issue, and no solution. 

Im about to send the router back, anyone know if theres anything i can do?

The correct format for ALL

The correct format for ALL netgear routers is .chk NOT .img file extention.

I just checked NETGEARS download and it is .chk (inside a .zip), are you sure you went to the update page?
