What is RMT file?

The file with the extension RMT is the System Files file type. In addition to this file, the System Files category includes 323 related files. Router Firmware Format appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS, Windows. The main program that supports this format is Safari. This was created by Apple, Inc.. There are also 3 alternative programs to handle the RMT file.

How to open RMT file?

The main problem with Router Firmware Format is that the RMT file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open RMT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RMT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Safari

The first step is to check if the computer has the Safari program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Safari in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RMT with Safari. Below you will find a list of applications that support RMT files.

Step 2. Create association of Safari with RMT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RMT file still does not use the Safari program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RMT file with the Safari program.

Step 3. Update Safari to the latest version

If, however, after binding Safari with Router Firmware Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Apple, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RMT file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The RMT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RMT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RMT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected RMT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RMT file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RMT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RMT except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the RMT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the RMT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RMT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RMT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
