formatting my netgear rn104
I have a full backup on external hdd of my nas rn 104 (just one bcp unfortunately)
I need help for this reinstallation and I help someone can follow me trough all of this.
My main need it is about I cannot fix address and put a password without need to do an os reinstall to access again..
so I will define this all the steps.
What happens when you enter this from the Windows CMD line?
net use * /d /y net use t: \\192.168.1.4\data /user:admin nas-admin-password
using the actual NAS admin password of course.
It should mount the entire data volume as drive letter T.
If you are using password as the admin password you'll need to change that before trying the above commands.
Also, the second command assumes you are using X-RAID - if you aren't, then you need to use the NAS volume name instead of data

I am confused on what you are wanting to do. Is the goal to do a fresh factory install of the NAS and then restore the files on the backup drive????
- carlockiLuminaryYes and I am looking for some support in the meanwhile
How is the backup formatted?
Also, do you use the NAS "home" share feature?
