Erasing the Configuration
It is sometimes desirable to restore the router to original default settings. This can be done by using
the Erase function, which will restore all factory settings. After an erase, the router's password will
be
password , the LAN IP address will be 192.168.1.1, and the router's DHCP client will be
enabled.
To erase the configuration, click the Erase button.
To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the login password or IP
address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router. See
“Restoring the
Default Configuration and Password” on page 6-7 .
Upgrading the Router Software
The routing software of the Wireless Router is stored in FLASH memory, and can be upgraded as
new software is released by NETGEAR. Upgrade files can be downloaded from the NETGEAR
Web site. If the upgrade file is compressed (.ZIP file), you must first extract the file before sending
it to the router. The upgrade file can be sent to the router using your browser.
To check for new firmware:
1. From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select Router
Upgrade. The Router Upgrade screen will display.
2. Click Check to check for new firmware. If new firmware is available you will be directed to
the appropriate new firmware upgrade location on the NETGEAR customer support website.
3. Select the new firmware version and save it to a location on your hard disk (usually the Temp
folder).
Note: Before upgrading the router software, use the router backup utility to save your
configuration settings. Any router upgrade will revert the router settings back to
the factory defaults. After completing the upgrade, you can restore your settings
from the backup.
Note: The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the Wireless Router must
support HTTP uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet Explorer
5.0 and above and Netscape Navigator 4.7 and above.
