For each device, the table shows the IP address, NetBIOS host name or device name (if available),

Backing Up Your Configuration
The configuration settings are stored in a configuration file. You can back up (save) this file and
retrieve it later. Save your configuration file after you complete the configuration. If the unit fails
or becomes corrupted, or an administrator password is lost, you can easily re-create your
configuration by restoring the configuration file.
Managing the Configuration File
The configuration settings of the Wireless-N AccessPoint/Bridge are stored within the router in a
configuration file. You can back up (save) this file to your computer, restore it, or reset it to the
factory default settings.
From the main menu of the browser interface, under Maintenance, select
Backup Settings
.
The following sections describe the three available options.
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.
Note:
If the bridge is rebooted, the table data is lost until it rediscovers the devices.
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.
