SXK80 - Firmware Version 4.2.3.102 bug
I found a bug in the firmware, after restoring the factory settings, when the ISP is on the 192.168.1.0/24 network segment, the device will automatically switch to the 10.0.00/24 network segment, and...

I just don't understand why it would fail to run NSCI on an SXK80 device after restoring factory settings and switching to a 10.x subnet.
Don't worry, me neither. Simply no time to waste more time on this special case. Keep in mind not many users have to factory default, and all this in the double-NAT context.
Is the problem prohibitive for bringing up a SKX80 (or for the sake of it the similar SXK50 or SXK30 system) from a factory default re-config?
Realistically, 99.9x% of these systems are configured once, and run forever. There it goes the expectation for a utility, beyond plain standard tftp - available on many different platforms and OSes. If it's not broken already as of writing, unlikely Netgear does spend time and resources on this 80/50/30 product line.
For my part, I'm done with this, as I don't own such one of these product, and never got one for Beta testing. Other community members seem to have the better contact to the Orbi Pro router team than me. I'm just yet another community member trying to help where he can. Netgear does not care for us at all. We're accepted to spend time and effort for free, but this is the end for now. One day, if I find a pre-loved European device, I might be willing to buy one for some Cents. Just like the BR500 I own for the fun or pun of it.
Said this: Sorry for asking silly questions - now you understand, why.
