N150 Wireless Router WNR1000 User Manual 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. Erasing the Configuration Under some circumstances (for example, if you move the 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. After an erase, the router's username is admin, the password is password, the LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1 (or www.routerlogin.net), and the router's DHCP server is enabled. To erase the configuration, click the Erase button in the Settings Backup screen. To restore the factory default configuration settings when you do not know the login password or IP address, you must use the restore factory settings button on the rear panel of the router (see "Restoring the Default Configuration and Password" on page 7-12). Updating the Router Firmware The firmware of the N150 Wireless Router is stored in flash memory, and can be updated as NETGEAR releases new firmware. You can update your firmware by logging into the router and using one of these procedures: • Enable the Check for Updated Firmware Upon Log-in check box. Each time you log in to the router, it will automatically detect a new version of the firmware and then install it. This check box is enabled in the router's default state. See "Logging In To Your Wireless Router" on page 1-2. • Use the Check button in the Router Upgrade screen. Instead of having the router check for new firmware every time you log in, you can use Router Upgrade, under Maintenance in the main menu.
