Configuration File Management

The configuration settings of the WGU624 wireless router are stored within the router in a
configuration file. This file can be saved (backed up) to a user's PC, retrieved (restored) from the
user's PC, or cleared to factory default settings.
From the main menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select the Backup
Settings heading to bring up the menu shown below.

Three options are available, and are described in the following sections.

Restoring and Backing Up the Configuration

The Restore and Backup options in the Settings Backup menu allow you to save and retrieve a file
containing your router's configuration settings.
To save your settings, select the Backup tab. Click the Backup button. Your browser extracts the
configuration file from the router and prompts you for a location on your PC to store the file. You
can give the file a meaningful name at this time, such as pacbell.cfg.
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 router. The router then reboots automatically.
