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 Settings

Backup heading to bring up the menu shown below.

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, click the Backup button. Your browser will extract the configuration file

from the router and will prompt 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.
