To restore your settings from a saved configuration file, enter the full path to the file on your PC or
click the Browse button to browse to the file. When you have located it, click the Restore button to
send the file to the gateway. The gateway will then reboot automatically.

Erase the Configuration

It is sometimes desirable to restore the gateway to a known blank condition. This can be done by
using the Erase function, which will restore all factory settings. After an erase, the gateway's
password will be password, the LAN IP address will be 192.168.0.1, and the gateway'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 gateway. See "Using the
Default Reset button" on page 8-8.

Changing the Configuration Password

The default password for the gateway's Web Configuration Manager is password. Netgear
recommends that you change this password to a more secure password.
From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select Set
Password to bring up the menu shown in Figure 6-7.
