So I put in https://s3.amazonaws.com/firmwaredow...te_5.9.6.1.bin and got the older firmware file, hope that's the right thing.
Yes, amazon has made it even harder to do and to describe.

You just have to be sure you got the one for the PW3.

You also have to download the JB firmware, which is large.
