This means that the uploaded firmware image is compatible with your device. The indication also displays the file's {{#ifeq:{{{series}}} | TRB14x | MD5 and SHA256 checksums | MD5 checksum}}. A <b>checksum</b> is a sequence of hexadecimal symbols generated after running an algorithm called a cryptographic hash function on a file. Calculating a checksum and comparing it with the one provided by the file source can be used as a file authenticity check method.
