MR60 Backup settings don't backup
Netgear. Are you TRYING to f up?! I've backed up all my reserved up addresses. And what happens after a full reset, and I've restored my backup file? Nothing! The backup backed up exactly NOTHING. ...
I'm suffering the same fate. I had what I thought was a good backup, but every time I try to restore from factory and restore from backup it fails. It looks like it's going to work, but it doesn't do jack. Nothing.
This is a major failure. What good is the backup and restore functionality if it doesn't work? Now I have to set up everything all over again. Not just on the MR60, but also on my devices that I had set up VPN on as well.
Add to this the fact you can't choose your bands on your 2nd network (guest network), and this stuff is just junk. Returning both sets to Costco and buying ASUS.
BTW, the model MR60 doesn't even show up in the list to post on these forums. Are these things even supported?
So, I found an older backup of my config and was able to restore from it. So it appears that the latest firmware (V1.1.6.122) has an issue with creating a valid backup file, but can restore valid backup files without issue.
