Backing Up Settings; Restoring Settings; Erasing The Settings - NETGEAR WNTR2001 User Manual

The Backup and Restore options in the Backup Settings screen let you save and retrieve a
file containing your Travel router's configuration settings. Once you have your Travel router
working correctly, you should back up the information to have it available if something goes
wrong. When you back up the settings, they are saved as a file on your computer. You can
restore the device's settings from this file.

Backing Up Settings

1. Click Back Up. Your browser extracts the configuration file from the Travel router.
2. If you do not have your browser set up to save downloaded files automatically, locate where
you want to save the file.
3. You can give the file a meaningful name at this time, such as internet_adapter.cfg.

Restoring Settings

2. Locate and select the previously saved backup file.
3. Click Restore.

computer, or click Browse to browse to the file. When you have located it, click Restore to
send the file to the Travel router. The Travel router then reboots automatically.
