Configuration File Management

The configuration settings of the WGT624 v3 wireless router are stored within the router in a
configuration file. This file can be saved (backed up) to a user's computer, retrieved (restored)
from the user's computer, or cleared to factory default settings.
From the Maintenance section of the main menu, click the Backup Settings link to display the
menu shown below.

Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration

The backup and restore options in the Settings Backup menu allow you to save and retrieve a file
containing your router's configuration settings.
To save your settings, click Backup. Your browser will extract the configuration file from the
router and prompt you for a location on your computer 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
computer or click Browse to browse to the file. When you have located it, click Restore to send
the file to the router. The router will then reboot automatically.
