Restore and Backup the Configuration

The Restore and Backup tabs in the Maintenance menu allow you to save and retrieve a file
containing your gateway's configuration settings.
To save your settings, select the Backup tab. Click the Backup button. Your browser will extract
the configuration file, named 'rom-0', from the gateway and will prompt you for a location on
your PC to store the file.
To restore your settings, select the Restore tab. Enter the full path to the configuration file on your
PC or click the Browse button to browse to the file. When you have located it, click the Upload
button to send the file to the router. The router 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 router's
password will be password, the LAN IP address will be 192.168.0.1, and the router's DHCP client
will be enabled.
To erase the configuration, click the Erase tab, then click the Erase button on the screen.
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
