Saving and restoring a configuration
Once you have configured your router, it is advisable to back up the settings. Then you
can restore them at any time, should they be accidentally deleted or overwritten.

Your browser opens a file selection window where you can specify the file you wish
to store in the backup file. On your local PC select a directory where you wish to store
the configuration file, and enter a name for the file.
Once the procedure has been completed, the current configuration data of your router
will have been backed up in the specified file.
Restoring the back-up

to restore the configuration.

The next window will warn you that the router will not be available for a short while
during the procedure. Click on

to close this message.

If you have loaded a new firmware version onto the router before reset-
ting the configuration, the configuration will not be restored in a small
number of cases. If this happens, the saved old data will not match the
new firmware.
In this case, we recommend that you reset the router to its factory
defaults (see page 103) and manually re-enter the configuration data.
