Cannot do firmware update - R6120
Ever since our purchase of this device, we have never been able to log into the router. We have contacted you on 2 previous occasions mentioning this, but - as the problem at the time mainly related ...
Excellent news. Worth knowing that reset can take several attempts before it stocks.

I just turn off password recovery. My passwords and stuff aren't obvious, certainly not Netgear's defaults, and Smersh isn't likely to attack me.
Quick message to let everyone know problem has finally been resolved. Had to do the reset on the router 2-3 times before it finally took. On the previous tries one or more of the lights were staying orange, so I kept trying until I got everything back to green. So, password's now been re-set, secret questions re-set and notes taken on all the above. Even better is that it immediately wanted to do the firmware update, so that's done too! Very happy camper again.
Thanks everyone for the help and patience. Took a while to get it done, but it
IS done!
