Factory reset gained a navigable DumaOS

Same issue. FW 1.0.2.86. Factory reset gained a navigable DumaOS, but the restoration of backup config put me right back in the same boat again of "DumaOS is not running!"   I unpacked the cfg file...

    The best and most likely solution is to do a factory reset which is generally advised after updating to a new firmware version. Then set up from scratch. Do NOT use the older backup config file. Once setup, generate a new backup configuration to file. You maybe introducing the problem using your older back up config file.
