RAX40 Factory Reset will not accept edited SSID and PW

After being forced to factory reset the RAX40, after a firmware update locked up the device, now I cannot reset the SSID and PW to the previous in the web interface.

Anyone out there have this issue?

That's not much to go on. What are you doing, how are you doing it and what happens when you try?

In the web interface to the RAX40 both in the Basic and Advanced tabs editing the 2 & 5GHz SSIDs and PW's to other than the default given by Netgear. Accepting the Apply button the web interface shows the time loading bar, it takes a long time, and eventually reverts back to the default settings. Each time. Internet interface is solid and "good".

I have had the same issue. No settings get saved at all. I am going to try another factory reset and call support if I it doesn’t work. Let me know if you had any issues.
