Netgear WAC120 - Maintenance Menu Missing after Firmware v2.0.5 update
As the title says. I went to upgrade my firmware to the latest version. As per instructions I upgraded first to v2.0.5 (maybe I already had - there didn't seem to be any way to know what firmware version was running). Result: no Maintenance tab. Only Configuration. SSID names changed, passwords removed, time reset to 1970 despite telling it my timezone: network trashed basically.
How do I get out of this mess, please?

When looking into the WAC120 https://www.netgear.com/support/product/wac120#download section, we find the current firmware version is WAC120 Firmware Version 2.1.7 since the year 2018. These release notes unveil a requirement to install 2.0.5 before updating further.
Formally, the firmware version is available under Monitoring -> System
Reads like this older firmware in place has some interop issues with the modern browsers
Have already tried to reset and drop your unknown Web browser cache?
Thanks. Yes I reset it. The issue is there is ONLY the Configuration tab after installing the required firmware.
Thanks for trying to help. I'm binning it and getting something more recent.
To continue operating your legacy WAC, give modern Edge a try and enable Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge
