For this reason, I tend to export a plaintext backup, and then encrypt that with a PGP key. I then keep this in a local git repo. Might be worth considering something similar in case you encounter such an issue again? At least this way you don't have to rely on a particular product for decryption :) On Mon, 28 Sep 2015, James Hodgkinson wrote:
Yeah, I don't care about the passwords etc, I actually needed the config. I ended up giving up and just rebuilding it from scratch, even though it seems like the hAP's wireless bridge is stopping me from doing the horrible hairpin NAT rules I've always run.
Going to have to buy something to replace the RB750G, looks like a CRS might be in my future :D
Thanks all,
James

Hi James,
Although there is no /official/ way to do it, I have seen a few online password extraction apps on the web (just try your favourite search engine) - but I urge caution - use them at your own risk! :-}
Cheers!
Mike.

I've just gone through a lovely electrical storm in Brisbane and my router's let the smoke out. Thankfully I've got a spare hAP that'll do the duties for now - is there a way to decrypt the backup (I have the passwords) from my RB750G so I can get out things like firewall config and NAT rules etc?
Thanks,
James
