Wow,


It amaze me that few still rely on "file extensions" nowadays. Anyways...


".bin" can be a visual reminder that the file is a legacy macOS binary file. It could be something else. A search on the Web can give few hints on how to extract the file. The manufacturer of the router can also provide more information.
