Reference Manual for the Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway

To restore your settings from a saved configuration file, enter the full path to the file on your PC or click the Browse button to browse to the file. When you have located it, click the Restore button to send the file to the gateway. The gateway will then reboot automatically.

Erase the Configuration

It is sometimes desirable to restore the gateway to a known blank condition. This can be done by using the Erase function, which will restore all factory settings. After an erase, the gateway’s password will be password, the LAN IP address will be 192.168.0.1, and the gateway’s DHCP client will be enabled.

To erase the configuration, click the Erase button.

To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the login password or IP address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the gateway. See “Using the Default Reset button“ on page 8-8.

Changing the Configuration Password

The default password for the gateway’s Web Configuration Manager is password. Netgear recommends that you change this password to a more secure password.

From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select Set Password to bring up the menu shown in Figure 6-7.
