Restore Configuration Settings
To restore configuration settings that you backed up:
1.
Select
ADVANCED > Administration >
Backup Settings
.
2.
Enter the full path to the file on your network, or to find the file, click the
Browse
button.
3.
To upload the file to the WiFi DSL modem router, click the
Restore
button.
When the restoration is complete, the WiFi DSL modem router reboots.
WARNING:
Do not interrupt the reboot process.
Erase
Under some circumstances (for example, if you move the WiFi DSL modem router to a
different network or if you have forgotten the password), you might want to erase the
configuration and restore the factory default settings.
Either you can use the Reset button on the back of the WiFi DSL modem router (see
Factory
Settings
on page 153), or you can click the
Erase
button in this screen.
Erase sets the user name to admin, the password to password, and the LAN IP address to
192.168.1.1, and enables the WiFi DSL modem router’s DHCP.
Set Password
This feature allows you to change the default password that is used to log in to the WiFi DSL
modem router with the user name admin.
This procedure is not the same as changing the password for wireless access. The label on
the bottom of your WiFi DSL modem router shows your unique wireless network name
(SSID) and password for wireless access (see
Label
on page 12).

To set the password for the user name admin:
1.
Select
ADVANCED > Administration > Set Password
.
2.
Type the old password, and type the new password twice.
3.
(Optional) Select the
Enable Password Recovery
check box.
The password recovery feature enables you to recover the password you use to log in to
the router. Otherwise, you have to reset the router to its factory default settings and log in
with the default password.
Note:
Resetting the router to its factory default settings also resets all of the
other settings you have configured.
4.
Click
Apply
.
NETGEAR recommends that you enable password recovery when you change the password
for the router’s user name of admin. Then you have an easy way to recover the password
when it is forgotten. This recovery process is supported in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and
Chrome browsers, but not in the Safari browser.
To set up password recovery:
1.
Select the
Enable Password Recovery
check box.
The screen adjusts to display security questions.
2.
Select two security questions, and provide answers to them.
3.
Click
Apply
.
When you use your browser to access the router, the login screen displays. If password
recovery is enabled, when you click Cancel, the password recovery process starts. You can
then enter the saved answers to the security questions to recover the password.

Diagnostics
You can perform various diagnostics. For normal operation, these tests are not required.
To perform diagnostic tests:
1.
Select
ADVANCED > Administration > Diagnostics
.
2.
Do any of the following:
•
In the Ping an IP address section, enter the IP address you want to ping, and click
Ping
.
Use this test to send a ping packet request to the specified IP address. This
procedure is often used to test a connection. If the request times out because no reply
is received, this result usually means that the destination is unreachable. However,
some network devices can be configured not to respond to a ping.
•
In the Perform a DNS Lookup section, specify the Internet name you want to look up,
and click
Lookup
.
A DNS (Domain Name Server) converts the Internet name (for example,
www.netgear.com) to an IP address. If you need the IP address of a web, FTP, mail,
or other server on the Internet, you can do a DNS lookup to find the IP address.
•
In the Display the Routing Table section, click
Display
.
This operation displays the internal routing table. Technical support and other staff
who understand routing tables use this information.
•
In the Reboot the Router section, click
Reboot
.
Use this button to perform a remote reboot (restart). You can use this procedure when
the router seems to have become unstable or is not operating normally.

Note:
Rebooting breaks any existing connections either to the router (such
as this one) or through the router (such as LAN users accessing the
Internet). However, connections to the Internet are automatically
reestablished when possible.
