Erasing The Configuration; Upgrading The Router Software - NETGEAR RangeMax WPN824 Reference Manual

Erasing the Configuration

It is sometimes desirable to restore the router to original default settings. This can be done by using
the Erase function, which will restore all factory settings. After an erase, the router's username will
be admin, the password will be password, the LAN IP address will be 192.168.1.1, and the
router's DHCP server will be enabled.
To erase the configuration, click the Erase button.
To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the login password or IP
address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router. See
Default Configuration and Password" on page

Upgrading the Router Software

Tip: To ensure you are always using the latest firmware, enable the Firmware Upgrade Assistant
feature so that the router will automatically detect a new version of the firmware on the Internet
and alert you to its availability.
This screen appears at login unless you check Do Not Display This Message Again and click Yes.

Note: Before upgrading the router software, use the router backup utility to save your
configuration settings. Any router upgrade will revert the router settings back to the
factory defaults. After completing the upgrade, you can restore your settings from the
backup.
