Taking FRITZ!Box Out of Operation
In this chapter you receive tips and recommendations for taking the
FRITZ!Box out of operation.
21.1
Deleting User Settings
To delete all individual user settings you’ve configured in your
FRITZ!Box, use the “Load Factory Settings” function. When
the factory settings are restored to the FRITZ!Box, all of the
settings in the FRITZ!Box are restored to their condition upon
delivery.
Restoring the factory settings is recommended if you would
like to pass the FRITZ!Box on to another user. By restoring the
factory settings you can delete incorrect settings that prevent
the FRITZ!Box from functioning properly.
Resetting the FRITZ!Box has the following effects:
•
All settings you made in the FRITZ!Box will be deleted.
•
The network key of the factory settings will be activated
again.
•
The IP configuration of the factory settings will be re-
stored.
Preparing to Load Factory Settings
Before loading the factory settings of your FRITZ!Box, save
your settings.
Saving FRITZ!Box Settings
Before loading the factory settings, save all of the settings
you made in your FRITZ!Box to a backup file. With this backup
file you can restore your settings to the FRITZ!Box at any time
or load them to another FRITZ!Box. For more information on
this, see the section
