3.
Select binary (not ascii) transfer mode.
4.
Use your FTP program to get (back up) or put (restore) the file named rom-0 in the router.
After you have sent a configuration file to the router, the router programs the new configuration
into flash memory and reboots itself, dropping the FTP session.
Using FTP from the WAN
If you wish to load new software or transfer the configuration file over the WAN, you must know
the WAN IP address of the router. You must also use the PORTS menu to forward incoming FTP
(port 21) traffic to the router’s LAN IP address, usually 192.168.0.1.
Restoring the Default Configuration and Password
This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the
Manager password to 1234 and the IP address to 192.168.0.1. You can erase the current
configuration and restore factory defaults in several ways:
•
Use the Erase function of the Web Manager (see
“Erase the Configuration“ on page 6-5
).
•
Upload the default config file romfile0.318, which can be found on the Model RO318
Resource CD. This config file is also available on the NETGEAR Web site. The config file can
be uploaded through the Web Manager (see
“Restore and Backup the Configuration“ on page
6-5
), or by ftp (see
“Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration Using FTP“ on page 6-6
).
•
Use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router. Use this method for cases when
the Manager password or IP address is not known.
Using the Default Reset button
To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the Manager password or IP
address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router.
1.
Press the Default Reset button for 10 seconds, then release it.
If the TEST LED begins to blink, the defaults have been restored and the router is now
rebooting. Otherwise, go to step 2.
2.
Disconnect the power from the router.
3.
While depressing the Default Reset button, reconnect power to the router.
