Backup the Current Configuration of the Router
The system will automatically create a backup file containing all current configuration settings. The configuration file will then be downloaded to your computer via your browser. Please confirm saving the file when prompted in the browser dialog.
Restore the Router's Configuration
If you accidentally forget previous settings after modifying certain configuration options, you may upload a previously saved backup file to the system and click Restore Configuration to revert to earlier settings. Please note that this operation will overwrite all current configuration settings, so carefully consider before proceeding.
- Click the file icon in the backup file field, then select the configuration file you wish to restore.

Timing Reboot
Automatic reboots can help clear unnecessary data from your router and automatically select optimal wireless channels. Before enabling Reboot plan, ensure the system time is accurate. When router uptime is less than 60 minutes, the device will skip non-essential reboots after reaching the scheduled reboot time.
