Backing Up Your Configuration
The configuration settings of the WNR854T are stored within the router in a configuration file.
You can back up (save) this file and retrieve it later. NETGEAR recommends that you save your
confguration file after you complete the configuration. In the event of router failure or corruption,
or a lost administrator password, you can easily recreate your configuration by restoring the
configuration file.
For instructions on saving and restoring your configuration file, see “Managing the Configuration
File” on page 7-6.

Tip: Before saving your configuration file, change the administrator password to the

password of password. This means you will have to re-enter all the router
configuration settings.
