and the Ethernet MAC address. To force the router to look for attached devices, click Refresh.
Managing the Configuration File
The configuration settings of the Wireless-G Router are stored within the router in a configuration
file. You can back up (save) this file to your computer, restore it, or reset it to the factory default
settings.
From the main menu of the browser interface, under Maintenance, select Backup Settings.
The following sections describe the three available options.

Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration

The Restore and Backup options in the Settings Backup screen let you save and retrieve a file
containing your router’s configuration settings.
To save your settings, click Back Up. Your browser extracts the configuration file from the router
and prompts you for a location on your computer to store the file. You can give the file a
meaningful name at this time, such as comcast.cfg.
Note: If the router is rebooted, the table data is lost until the router rediscovers the
devices.

Tip: Before saving your configuration file, change the administrator password to the
default, password. Then change it again after you have saved the configuration file.
If you forget the password, you will need to reset the configuration to factory
defaults.
