What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.

If you visit the support pages:
you can feed in the model number and find all the documentation and stuff for your hardware.

Yes as you might imagine, i have done all that.
I feel this needs a next step. Beyond the 30:30:30 wipe. Is there a way to forceably erase the nvram?
Is there some commands or software that can do this kind of thing? Right now im entering the fourth day of this and i cant progress because every time the router reboots it just reverts to old configuration.
Anything else applicable?
Thanks
