RAX120 Router Random Disconnects
Hey everyone, I know that I'm not the only one with problems on the Nighthawk WiFi 6 devices, but thought I'd post my most recent headache. My hardware consists of a Motorola MB8600 DOCS 3.1 modem w/...
- Note down the important settings, using screenshots, and then reconfigure the router using these screenshots as a reference.
- Keep a text-based backup of all your settings, and manually restore the important settings by copy and paste
I have a file with my settings, but copy and paste is extremely inefficient when you have a lot of parameter changes. I utilize MAC address filtering and have 75 MACs in my list, which can only be entered one at a time. Moreover, the paste function does not work in the MAC address text box when you add a device, yet paste works for the device name text box. That's odd to say the least and requires addresses to be typed in. Thus, we need a more efficient way of changing our settings outside the GUI.
You could try to restore the important settings over SSH/telnet.
Or just get on with doing it manually, I have 114 devices and it takes me about an hour or so to do the all from scratch, sometines you just have to knuckle down and get on with it to it.Or you could write a NVRAM save/restore utility of course.
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.
Something along these lines maybe?
Options: -h this help msg -v Print version/perform consistency check -b Backup mode - save for restore to same router (default) -m Migration mode - transfer settings to another router -i inifile Specify custom nvram variable ini file -clk Include clkfreq/overclock setting (Backup mode only) -nojffs Skip backup of jffs storage -nouser Skip execution of user exit scriptRax120_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?
