Configuration File Management

The configuration settings of the wireless router are stored within the router in a configuration file. This file can be saved (backed up) onto a computer, retrieved (restored) from the computer, or cleared to the factory default settings.

Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration

You can save and retrieve a file containing your router’s configuration settings.

To save your settings:

Click Backup. Your browser will extract the configuration file from the router and prompt you for a location on your computer to store the file. You can give the file a meaningful name at this time, such as pacbell.cfg.

To restore your settings from a saved configuration file:

Enter the full path to the file on your computer or click Browse to browse to the file. When you have located it, click Restore to send the file to the router. The router will then reboot automatically.
