RV042 HW version 3

[johanvermeij]

I am back.

I managed to swap my standby RV042 router for the latest model (HW V3 - Black front panel).

The first problem is that I cannot see the config screens on one computer (using whatever browser) and I can see them on another.

I can always see the menu on the left hand side but not the screens.

I can see everything on my iMac and my notebook

This is a simple problem of course

The second problem is that that I get "Invalid File Format" when I try to restore my RV042 V2 backup file to the RV042 V3.

I had hoped that I could just swap them over without going through the manual setup again.

I found and downloaded the configuration utility

When I run it to convert .exp to .config file I see no output and no errors

I see a log file and an empty temp1.config file after I run the utility.

It stops on something

This is the log output from the conversion utility:
