You may have added many customized settings to your router and in the case that you
need to reset your router to default, all your customized settings would be lost and
would require you to manually reconfigure all of your router settings instead of simply
restoring from a backed up router configuration file.
To backup your router configuration:
1. Log into your router management page (see
on page 26).
2. Click on Administrator and click on Settings Management.
3. Under Export Settings section, click Export.
4. Depending on your web browser settings, you may be prompted to save a file (specify
the location) or the file may be downloaded automatically to the web browser
settings default download folder. (Default Filename: .cfg)
To restore your router configuration:

and have attempted all other troubleshooting.
There are two methods that can be used to restart your router.

only) located on the rear panel of your router or disconnecting the power port,
see "Product Hardware Features" on page 5.
Use this method if you are encountering difficulties with accessing your router
management page. This is also known as a hard reboot or power cycle.
