problem XR300 after restore backup

Hi. I had problems with the R-app display on the XR300 so I backed up my settings and did a factory reset.
When I put the backup back in, the system no longer recognized my admin/password.
why?
I can no longer enter the configuration. The security responses don't work either. However, my entire network works (wifi name, open ports, etc.). Thanks. Sorry for my bad englih I used googltraduc

  • What do you mean the R-App display exactly? You will need to factory reset in this case. If you've backed up from an older firmware and restored on a newer version it can cause issues.

      the r-app was no longer displayed. I did a factory reset with the same firmware (latest). but when entering my administrator password... the router does not accept it. it worked before. Just before my backup. Today my network works but I can no longer configure it.
