NETGEAR router password recovery allows you to recover your admin password if it is changed or forgotten. We recommend you enable router password recovery if you change the admin password on your router.
The problem is that after it erased all content and restarted i'm stuck in this recovery assistant telling me to select a wifi network from a non-existent menu. Is this meant to happen? I don't understand what went wrong.

If the standard factory password (password) does not work, then you will have to factory reset the thing to get back to that. Then either disable password recovery (check the manual for your device) or provide some answers to those questions.
As I said: I have done a factory reset several times. To be clear: Holding the Reset button while powering-up, until the Power light begins to blink.
When it's "up," ipconfig says my IP address is 192.168.1.2, and the router is at 192.168.1.1
Connecting via IE or Chrome to the gateway address: The router does not accept the default login of "admin" and "password" and bumps me to the password-recovery after a couple of attempts. It asks me the two questions I answered after the first factory reset, it offers the password I'd set, and then just goes into a loop of refusing the login of "admin" and the password I'd set.

1. ipconfig says I'm at 192.168.1.2 and the router is at 192.168.1.1; I launch IE or Chrome and enter 192.168.1.1 to the addressbar.
2. I'm asked for a login, suggesting "admin" and a string of asterisks in the password field. I try a login name of "admin" and "password" for the password field.
3. The dialogbox flashes and presents the login & password field again. I try "admin" and "password," and it presents me with the password-recovery screen asking for the router's serial #.
4. I enter the serial # from the bottom of the router, then it goes to the password hint questions that I'd entered the first time I did a full reset (as above).
5. I enter the answers and it displays the login "admin" and the password I'd set the first time. I copy that to the clipboard (and just to test, paste to a text editor. It's correct).
6. I press the "login" button and it offers "admin" as the login name and a string of asterisks for the password. I tab to the Password field and paste my password.
7. I press the Sign In button and the dialog flashes, repeating the prompt for "admin" as the login name and a string of asterisks as the password. I repeat step 6 and it takes me to the Password Recovery prompt.
thanks. The only thing I can think of now is if the string for SSID or password managed to break the parser in the sonix wifi lib, and that causes it to crash when starting wifi.
Do you know what wifi SSID and password you set?
From looking at the source e.g. here and here and the wiki, adding the file WIFI.TXT with ssid and password of an existing wifi network (each on separate line, no space) on the sd card can put the viper in wifi station mode (or as a wifi client, changing from default access point mode):
I have a user who is a traveling consultant based out of his home office. This week, he comes home and his laptop requests the Bitlocker recovery key on boot up. There is nothing plugged into the laptop--not USB wireless mouse dongles, Ethernet cables, power cord, docking station, nothing. It still requests the recovery key.
Before I shipped him a spare so he could ship his to me to troubleshoot, I had him go to Starbucks to test it. Rebooting several times, it doesn't request the recovery key, at all. Just boots right up. Seems the only variable is his home office internet. Anyone have any other troubleshooting ideas?
For information about his home Wifi, the laptop is using Windows to manage Wifi (not Intel PROSet). The wifi on that laptop is Inte Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 with an updated driver. The Netgear is set at WPA2-Personal with AES encryption.
Aside from calling Begin() again I think the only other option is to wait for someone more experienced to update BlynkSimpleShieldEsp8266 to match your changes to BlynkSimpleEsp8266 so I can manage the wifi connection outside of Blynk.

I'm trying to restore an iMac, and am running into a problem. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to connect it to wifi with Voiceover. I've tried the Vo-M/m but to no avail! I've done it before, so I know there's a way; I just don't remember it! Help, please!
don't quote me on this, but i don't think you can connect with the normal recovery. you have to use the internet recovery mode. IE, holding down, if my memory serves, command option r, rather than just command r.
If that is what you have done, than i'm not sure what's going on.
Normally, you would connect to wifi by pressing VO M twice to access the status menus, but I believe there is a Voiceover bug that causes this to not work as expected. If you have another Mac around, you can download a copy of macOS and create a bootable install disk from a USB thumb drive or external hard drive and install it locally from that.
Glad this thread came up. I'm looking to reformat my drive so I can sell my Mac, but am a bit confused with all the research I've done. I gather that I would need to boot from recovery mode with command option R, but Apple's website also lists that keystroke with the shift key included. What does that do? I assume the Internet recovery would work on mine since it's a mid 2012 MBP. Is Internet recovery not accessible with VO?
internet recovery does work with VoiceOver, just like a local recovery partition. when you first boot into it though, their is a globe on screen. this part does not work with VoiceOver. you need sited help to get the progress of the recovery. a mac in this mode would first download the recovery image from Apple's servers, after that is complete, VoiceOver works. Internet recovery resets the mac to factory settings. when I ran it on a 2011 MacBook Pro, Mountain Lion was installed even though I upgraded it to ElCapitan. .
I did an internet recovery to reinstall MacOS Catalina with my home WiFi network, with password protected. However, since my Pc was had a virus, I was worried that my IP addresss and home WiFi network has been compromised, can I still trust that the installation was not tempered with? Or should I perhaps reinstall it again using mobile network? Since I have heard that mobile data are much more secure than WiFi network.
I suggest you to reset your WiFi, try to check the authenticity of firmware cross-checking hash(if present) in the admin panel to the documentation provided with the product to ensure installation of wifi firmware is not tampered and then update the firmware later, change all your default WiFi password (admin login and WPA2) to complex long custom ones. Make use of mac address whitelisting on wireless router and allow only limited number of users on it. It will be added benefit if you consider educating yourself on how in general evil twin works or other general techniques to avoid giving up your secure password.
You can go back to the recovery menu options by login-out (cntrl + D), then select the option "Network ------- Enable networking" and Ubuntu will do the rest for you to activate networking. You will be brought back to this menu screen, so you can get back to the shell prompt and continue whatever you were trying to fix.
We are a school district so we went with the Belkin adapter for teachers/staff and the double dongle setup for tech staff. With the idea that only tech staff would need the netboot/internet recovery functionality. So far wireless has not been an issue so the Belkin adapters don't get used much.
I wanted to share my finding... I am using the Tripp-Lite Multi Function device (Model U444-06N-VGU-C) connected to a 12 inch Macbook. I had the Ethernet plugged in and the power brick into the pass through port. Upon booting into the Internet Recovery mode, it did not seem to recognize the adapter. It required me to choose a wireless network. After the initial recovery image was downloaded and initialized, the GUI loaded. I opened up terminal and executed an ifconfig command. It showed both en0 and en1 as connected. This surprised me based upon what I read above. The en0 had an IP address from the wired subnet where as the en1 had an IP address from the subnet of the wireless network that I chose. I exited the terminal, turned the wireless adapter off, wiped the hard drive, and started the OS reinstall.
I pulled up my firewall logs and limited to the wired (en0) IP address and so far it has downloaded 5.47 GB worth of data. So, while it seemed to need the wireless for the initial IR GUI image download, once the recovery module loaded, it recognized the adapter and initialized the kext for the rest of the install.
I did some testing with using wireless, and if i remember correctly worked fine using a SPrint MyFy, didn't try using our campus wifi mainly because of needing to authenticate (didnt want that to be a solution for us). But i may re test to see if using campus wifi works as well.
