Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration

The Restore and Backup options in the Settings Backup menu let you save and retrieve a file
containing your router’s configuration settings.

To save your settings, click Back Up. 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

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.
