Replaced dead XR500 with new one. No option to create//restore netgear_xr500.cfg

model xr500

firmware Not sure,  Check for new ver does not install anything newer

DUMA V2.3.2.134

There are instructions in a help article how to back up/restore router's configuration.It must have worked for the old router because I have a file for restoring.

On this replacement router, the option is not found.  Instructions say open Duma, select Advanced then backup or restore.  Clicking ADVANCED only lists Network Speeds and Time Zone.  Nothing about backing up or restoration.

 

Help is appreciated in advance

 

 

  • I think you're still trying to get it from the settings on the top right.

    It's the actual settings page - Settings > Administration > Backup Settings

    If not please provide a screenshot of the options available
