Backup Settings Help
This page allows you to backup, restore and erase the router's current settings.
Once you have the router working properly, you should backup the information to have it available
if something goes wrong. When you backup the settings, they are saved as a file on your computer.
You can restore the router's settings from this file.
To create a backup file of the current settings:
1. Click
Backup
.
2. If you don't have your browser set up to save downloaded files automatically, locate where
you want to save the file, rename it if you like, and click
Save
.
If you have your browser set up to save downloaded files automatically, the file is saved to
the your browser's download location on the hard disk and is called
NETGEAR_VVG2000.cfg
.

turn off the router, shutdown the computer or do anything else to the router until it finishes
restarting! This should only take a minute or so. When the Test light stops blinking, wait a few more
seconds before doing anything with the router.
