This error message means that the FW file you're using to upgrade is not for your device HW version or FW region.

Device HW version or FW region can be seen on the device bottom sticker.

You can see this error message sometimes even when you're trying to upgrade the device FW with an older FW release version.

Check the "Operation Mode" menu - if there's no "Range Extender" mode then use the WDS feature to extend your wireless coverage:

 

 

Here's a guide on that.
