Normally a bin file would be directly applied to a router -- i.e. no
extract required.  If the file were zipped or a tar file then an
appropriate extract would be applicable.  Normally the router
manufacturer supplies a program which applies the bin file to the
router.

Hopefully, this information assists you.
