How can I create a hard copy of configuration settings?

Question

I did a factory reset after the last firmware update due to DNS issues. I got frustrated with trying to remember configuration setting so did a restore. DNS issues remained so I downgraded the firmware. I have just read that a restore can introduce a compatibiliby issue after a firmware update/factory reset which seems absurd but I would like to be running the latest firmware so am willing to give the update/factory reset process another try if I can capture configuration settings beforehand in such a way that I can reference them during re-configuration. A screenshot of each screen is not a practical option so suggestions for an easier way would be appreciated.

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed. https://kb.netgear.com/24231/How-do-I-back-up-the-router-configuration-settings-on-my-Nighthawk-router
