The problem wasn't with the command line but with Firefox profile. I run some firefox profile and one profile from which I logged into the firewall GUI and try to make a nvrambak.bin file it printed the error message: URL 1/1... --2017-02-11 15:02:41-- http://10.0.0.1/nvrambak.bin Connecting to 10.0.0.1:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 401 Unauthorized Username/Password Authentication Failed. Press [ENTER] to quit... I've never seen this one. I was able to log-in to the router but making backup did not recognized stored password (it seems). Making backup from different firefox profile worked OK -- Thelma
