How to back up and restore your router configuration
As with any valuable data, you should back up your router configuration. Your router might contain
many customized settings. Those settings would be lost if you reset your router to its factory
defaults, and you would need to re-enter all of them manually. If you back up your router
configuration, restoring settings is easy.
Note—You can only back up the router configuration locally (not remotely).
To back up your router configuration:
1. Log in to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi. (See ''How to connect to Linksys Smart Wi-Fi'' on page 10.)
2. Under Router Settings, click Troubleshooting.
3. Click the Diagnostics tab.
4. Under Router configuration, click Backup.
5. Specify a file location, then click Save.
Tip—To save multiple backup files, include the backup date in the filename as you save.
To restore your router configuration:
