Settings File Compatibility
I keep my firmware up-to-date and always save a copy of the latest settings file. Is this file compatible with some or all newer Nighthawk models? In other words, can it be used to initialize a newer...
When a user changes router settings or they're changed automatically (e.g. when the default for new devices is to allow access), they obviously are stored somewhere. What I'm suggesting is a generic subroutine that can be called by any router (regardless of manufacturer) at startup time or when settings are changed. Each manufacturer simply makes it possible to save and load their user settings to and from a secure, generic, ASCII file.
I don't have the time or inclination to deal with the tech staff on this, so I'll just print my NETGEAR settings and make the suggested feature a REQUIREMENT whan I buy routers.
Done, fini, outta here....
