You could try to restore the important settings over SSH/telnet.

Yeah, that's what I was asking. What files store this information? I can write a script or just VI once I'm in and paste the settings in the config files.

    Rax120_rax80, having the ability to export, edit, and import some (or all) of the router’s settings is an excellent suggestion. That capability would not only facilitate restoring a router to a workable state following a factory reset, but would also assist when upgrading from one Netgear router to another. I recommend that you post the suggestion to the Idea Exchange For Home.

     

    P.S.:  Has your RAX120 been running well, since performing the factory reset followed by the manual entry of the router's settings?
