Export Certificate for Administrator The certificate for the administrator contains the private key and should be stored in a safe place as a backup. If you reset the Router to its factory defaults, then you can import the certificate and restore it on the Router.

To save the certificate as a file, click Export for Admin. By default, the certificate file is named RV042_<MMDD>_ <HHMM>.pem, which you can rename. (MMDD stands for month and day; HHMM stands for hours and minutes.) Follow the on-screen instructions to select the location where you want to store your certificate.

Export Certificate for Client The certificate for the client must be placed in the install directory of the QuickVPN client software.

To save the certificate as a file, click Export for Client. Then follow the on-screen instructions. By default, the certificate file is named RV042_<MMDD>_<HHMM>_ Client.pem, which you can rename. (MMDD stands for month and day; HHMM stands for hours and minutes.) Follow the on-screen instructions to save the file in the install directory of the QuickVPN client software.

Import Certificate To specify the location of the administrator certificate, click Browse and follow the on‑screen instructions. (This is the file you previously saved using the Export Certificate for Administrator option.) After you have selected the file, click Import.

Click Save Settings to save your changes, or click Cancel Changes to undo them.

When you first save these settings, a message will appear, asking if you would like the Router to automatically change the LAN IP address to prevent conflicting IP addresses. To change the LAN IP address, click Yes. If an IP conflict occurs, the QuickVPN client will not connect to the Router.
