Erasing the Configuration

It is sometimes desirable to restore the router to the factory default settings. This can be done by

using the Erase function, which will restore all factory settings. After an erase, the router's

password will be password, the LAN IP address will be 192.168.1.1, and the router'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 router. See “Restoring the

Default Configuration and Password” on page 5-7.

Upgrading the Router Software

Note: Before upgrading the router software, use the router backup utility to save your

configuration settings. Any router upgrade will revert the router settings back to

the factory defaults. After completing the upgrade, you can restore your settings

from the backup.

The routing software of the RP614v4 router is stored in FLASH memory, and can be upgraded as

new software is released by NETGEAR. Upgrade files can be downloaded from the NETGEAR

Web site. If the upgrade file is compressed (.ZIP file), you must first extract the binary (.BIN) file

before sending it to the router. The upgrade file can be sent to the router using your browser.

Note: The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the RP614v4 router must

support HTTP uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet Explorer

or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or higher.
