Managing The Configuration File; Backing Up And Restoring The Configuration - NETGEAR WGR614v11 User Manual

Managing the Configuration File

The configuration settings of the WGR614v11 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.
Figure 5.
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.
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 then reboots automatically.
WARNING!
Do not interrupt the reboot process.
