    MK62 is a kit with one MR60 router and two MS60 satellites. Unfortunately these aren't added to the community tags....

     

    You have access to the file - perfectly sufficient as a backup and to reconfigure from scratch. Access to bits and bytes isn't required and not intended.

      Thank you so much for tell me that access to th file backup is the only thing i need. i don't realize it by myself!

       

      anyone have decripted this file? the file download with cfg extenion but is a zip file.

      this fantastic router have lost the port forwarding table in some deep dark place ancd wont to recreate the configuration. only this that can i do is restore factory default and rebuild entire configuration. no backup restore solve the problem beacuse the problem backup itself.

      .. and no telnet interface!

       

      next time, simply accessing to file backup i could will solve the problem editing the configuration backupped.

      so, what is the password of zip backup file masked as cfg file?

       

      thank you
