Done a little bit more playing. The mtd-erase2 nvram command set all my settings to default except the “booji” setting is still in the PVC summary still remains. I can’t add a PVC profile or delete the “booji” profile.
The “booji” setting in the openvpn sever profile can be deleted so it seems the only setting thats stuck is in the PVC summary. The “booji” pvc seems broken as if I set it to DSL not all the options (such as username/password) isn’t there. If I set primary wan to ethernet wan I still can’t get the router to work on an external modem either even though I can see all the settings. I also noticed that when the primary is set to ethernet wan instead is DSL then there is no PVC summary page. Advanced Settings>wan takes you directly to the WAN – Internet Connection page (whether this is normal or not I’m not sure). So as its stands when I set to factory settings I can’t get the router to work with the internal modem or external modem.
The only way I can get my router to limp into action is to load an old config file. When the router is set to primary DSL the PVC summary page still shows “booji” but also has a DSL profile. Even though the internal modem doesn’t work when the primary is DSL if I set the Primary to Wan it seems to use the config file setting to work with the external modem. This config loads the mysterious booji password/username setting on OpenVPN server which can’t be deleted.
So its a bit of a headscratcher. It seems corrupt settings have crept in that an NRAM erase doesn’t wipe. I know its a bit dangerous but would re flashing the CME be the only other option to get rid of “booji” in the PVC.
