Click the Browse button and navigate to and select the saved configuration file. The backup file from which you can restore the configuration ends in .cfg. 6. Click the Restore button.

Wait until the router finishes restarting and the Power LED turns solid green. Return the Router to Its Factory Default Settings Under some circumstances (for example, if you lost track of the changes that you made to the router settings or you move the router to a different network), you might want to erase the configuration and reset the router to factory default settings. If you do not know the current IP address of the router, first try to use an IP scanner application to detect the IP address before you reset the router to factory default settings. To reset the router to factory default settings, you can use either the Reset/WPS button on the router or the Erase function. However, if you cannot find the IP address or lost the password to access the router, you must use the Reset/WPS button. After you reset the router to factory default settings, the user name is admin, the password is password, the LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1 (which is the same as www.routerlogin.net), and the DHCP server is enabled.
