Save Router Configuration Settings
When you have completed configuration of the Router, make sure you save the current configuration settings to
flash memory or risk losing the settings. To save the current configuration settings, click the
Misc. menu button
to view the Miscellaneous Configuration menu and click the Save and Reboot button. The current settings will
be saved to NV-RAM and the system will restart. Do not turn off the Router during this process. It should take
about two minutes to complete. After restarting, it is a good idea to backup the Router configuration file to your
computer. See the instructions below to save configuration files to your PC.
Figure 4- 16. Miscellaneous Configuration Menu
Other functions available in this menu are a Ping test and IGMP enable/disable.
Ping Test
The Ping test functions on the WAN and LAN interfaces. Type the IP address you want to check in the space
provided and click the
Ping button. Read the Ping test result in the space immediately below.
IGMP
This is Disabled by default. This setting will not allow IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) packets to
be forwarded to the LAN. IGMP is used to manage multicasting on TCP/IP networks, most users will not need
to enable this. Some ISPs use IGMP to perform remote configuration for client devices, such as the Router. If
you are unsure, check with your ISP. To enable IGMP service to the LAN interface, select
Enabled and click the
Apply button.
