Saving the multiple DHCP Static Lists and Custom Client Lists from 3006 Routers with Guest Network Pro?

Again, thank you both.totally understand and respect your more CLI based approach, I’m sure it fits your needs, experience and backgrounds.

While I have and still could learn more of those approaches from you both, I’m coming at it from a slightly different perspective, with my posts attempting to break it down into manageable ateps (not dumb down, just simplify), ask questions and explain how I got to an end goal (if I did); and hopefully do so in such a way that more mainstream users feel they can give it a try, that maybe it’s not all as intimidating as it might first appear.

No right or wrong here folks, just different .

Agreed. We all have different styles - or in my case, it's just what I grew up with. In my day, I remember our first file server. It was a whopping 10MB!! And man, were we impressed. At that time, if someone said GUI, we would have answered "What are you talking about???????". Even today, with OPNsense, PFSense, and the like, I still get frustrated that I can't just SSH into the damn thing and do what I want it to do from a config file.

<OT on>; Haha, or perhaps it is what prefer as we change and what facilitates growth.

I grew up with a TRS-80 at school then Fortran at Uni and I didn’t study IT or computing, it was just a mandatory paper. Hated the punch cards with a vengeance.

Did a bit of basic on my Dad’ss BBC Micro Model B where you had to swap the 360kb single sided floppies over. Things improved, in my view, with the Apple Mac, Windows and being able to ‘program’ in Visual Basic in Excel.

As I said, not my field, I just dabbled, I can follow CLI instructions and I get why some folks prefer to do so, the elegance and simplicity of it, but the biggest game changer for me was when we got my Mum an iPad (then an iPhone) it was literally an overnight game changer. Previously it took half an hour for her to navigate a mouse to open a program on Windows; tactile or GUI-based learning fits some better than others, so Steve Jobs or whoever it really was, got that bit right for many.

As I said above in some ways I’m happy to learn myself from incredibly helpful folks such as yourself and bennor to name a few, but also deliberately provide a metaphorical trail of breadcrumbs for folks who are daunted by command lines.

Apologies for the philosophical aside, your ‘what I grew up’ with had me in stitches<OT off>
