Solved Having trouble comparing the results of sha256 file and PowerShell results of the same file downloaded from the Mirror

[skeal]

I've spent the last few hours trying to compare sha256 information to validate what file I just downloaded. I'm using PowerShell, get-Filehash command and no matter what I do the checksums don't match. I've done this many times in the past. I'm downloading RT-AC68U from OneDrive mirror.
Using Get-Filehash command. PS C:\Users\steve> get-Filehash C:\Users\steve\Downloads\RT-AC68U_386.12_0.zip and the results do not match the information in the downloaded folder sha256. Results are as follows:
From the sha256 file in the download are: a07830f1dd3fa816c25c7b76263cbb13e4268fac3447fe623b048f66067deaf4 opened with Notepad ++
From PowerShell the get-Filehash results are: ED05B558FC7DA409196FAA329472739CE608DAD6FC84B694A6FB822D9F5B7D53 Pasted to Notepad++ after reading it in PowerShell. Then copied to the sha256 file in the downloaded file and compared one above another making sure my copy's are accurate.
No matter what I do nothing changes the results.
Again I've done this many times before the same way with great results. Everything is up to date, PowerShell and notepad++.

Can anyone please help me? I'm not on here much anymore so if it was mentioned before and its deep in the thread somewhere I wouldn't have heard about it. And don't have much luck with search
I make sure the download is authenticate every time I update firmware any one of my Asus routers. Thanks you smart people!

I replied to your prior post. Run get-filehash on the .trx file.

Yup! That's the ticket!
