You may be presented with an option to save a file called ‘backup.bin’. This is the router
configuration file. Click Save (or Save As if you want to specify a save location
yourself).
7.
The configuration file will be saved to your computer. This is normally saved in your
computer’s download folder. It is recommended that you store this file in a memorable
location. By default the file would be located in the following folders:
•
On a Windows Vista/7 computer with Internet Explorer or Firefox this would be
C:\Users\[username]\Downloads.
•
On a Windows XP computer with Internet Explorer 8 C:\Documents and
Settings\{username]\My Documents
•
On Mac OS X this would be /Users/[username]/Downloads
If you want to rename the backup.bin file to something more memorable you can, just
ensure that you keep the .bin extension at the end of the file name in order to be able to
restore from it later.
