Managing the Configuration File
The configuration settings of the N150 Wireless Router are stored within the router in a
configuration file. You can back up this file to your computer, restore it, or reset it to the factory
default settings.
Select Backup Settings under Maintenance in the main menu to display the 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 Backup. 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.

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.
