Configuration file NETGEAR

Folks, I have done this before - back up my router's config file (.cfg) for later use and 'just in case' conditions. I have not been able to back up the 1.0.4.12 firmware as I replaced it with ...

Features

Installation

UPDATE:

After playing around I found that I COULD Save the file if I right-clicked on the mouse , then hit save I did deposit the file into my 'DOWNLOAD' folder.

It just does not ( did not, would not) cooperate with me to let ME pick the folder to deposit the file.... ( jheesh!)

Thanks for your help

----------------------------------------

I am not confused... I want to back up my existing config of the router...

I have done this before. Yet when I go to SAVE the file it does not allow me to do this.

1. Save a copy of the current settings: I hit the backup icon

2. I now see a screen that says ' You have chosen to open:

NETGEAR_Nighthawk X6 R8000.cfg

Yet I click on SAVE FILE to save a copy

3. I also hit BROWSE to select where I want to put this file BUT:
4. It thinks I am looing for a file to open - once I browse it only gives me the option

to OPEN or CANCEL , but not to SAVE.

I have tried this several times and get the same result ( as expected)...

As of today I cannot SAVE a cfg

thanks

Works FINE for me. I'm using FireFox and it is set to send all my 'downloads' to a specific folder. I backed up .12 before, and now .18 and it is designated as a (1) after the name.

See the dates they were done?

Suspect something more to do with your Browser? Cache might need to be cleared or try another one?

Yes, I too am using Firefox .

I also am on Windows 10.

JUst a note - I have issues with Chrome trying to do the same (* fyi only, and not looking to increase the complexity)

ALso checked to see if I have the Latest Chrome and I am up to date - something I puruse regularly.
