Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration

The Restore and Backup options in the Settings Backup screen let you save and retrieve a file containing your bridge's configuration settings.

To save your settings, click Back Up. Your browser extracts the configuration file from the bridge and prompts you for a location on your computer to store the file. You can give the file a meaningful name at this time, such as comcast.cfg.

Tip: Before saving your configuration file, change the administrator password to the default, password. Then change it again after you have saved the configuration file. If you forget the password, you will need to reset the configuration to factory defaults.

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 then reboots automatically.

Warning: Do not interrupt the reboot process.
