GSM7248 Cannot factory reset
I've inherited a GSM 7248 and am trying to complete a simple factory reset. I've tried: 1) Holding the Reset button down for 2-3 seconds, per https://kb.netgear.com/24679/How-do-I-reset-a-smart-...
I decided to dust off my old GSM7248R (that I used to use at my office many years ago) for my house. I was able to use PuTTY to TelNet to the device. However using ezconfig I could not reset the password or revert to a factory default (option 10). In my desperation I decided to delete the configuration. Now I'm further behind because I can no longer log into the web interface or boot normally (option 1). How can I either install a default configuration or better yet do a complete factory reset? I'm assuming I'll need to continue using PuTTY as my TelNet client. Any help wouldn't be much appreciated.
