Hi versatiletech,

I just want to follow-up on this. Were you able to setup a TFTP server on your PC then downloaded the text configuration file?

Hello,

Problem solved, I only need to put the dash mark (/) in the Transfer file path on the Netgear web interface and it worked.

But i have one question:

Is the configuration backup that’s done on the SmartControlCenter is the same file type as backup file that is created using the web Browser interface (Text Configurations)?

I ask that because the file that I get from the TFTP server is File type and the file that I get from the Smart Control Center is CFG File and I need to know file type that I get from using the TFTP server Text Configurations So i can Change it to the right type.

And thanks in Advance

Regards,

Tayyan
