Open RMT File

The RMT extension is a firmware file format used by various WiFi routers, including those from Linksys.

What is a firmware?

The firmware is the basic program that controls the electronic circuits of any device, just as an Operating System.

This program or software is a piece of code in charge of controlling what the hardware of a device has to do, and which makes sure that the basic operation is correct.

Normally a firmware is followed by a more robust operating system with a graphical interface.

About a WiFi Router

A WiFi router is an electronic device that sends data received from an Internet cable to other devices.

It also acts as a wireless access point from which you share data by using radio signals.

The router converts the data stream from your Internet connection into radio signals.

Linksys, as a Holding, was Cisco's brand of products for the home and small business market, which the company acquired in 2003.

In 2013 the Linksys brand was acquired by the Belkin company and is the one that currently has control over the company.

These signals are received by WiFi-enabled devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets.

Thus, the RMT file contains data and programs used for the operation of a router.

Also, the RMT is used to provide firmware updates for bug fixes and security patches.

RMT files are typically updated using a web browser that is connected to a web application hosted on the router.

RMT files should not be opened manually by the user, as this can permanently render the router unusable.
