Backups

Back up your router’s configuration so you can restore it after an update, factory reset, or hardware failure. Backups capture your settings — security profiles, Wi-Fi passwords, firewall rules, VPN configurations, SSH keys, and other customizations.

Creating a Backup

  1. Navigate to System > Settings > Backup.

  2. Click “Create Backup”.

  3. A backup file will be downloaded to your computer.

Store the backup file in a safe location, such as a password manager or encrypted drive.

Tip

Create a backup before performing firmware updates. While the “Keep settings” path preserves settings, having a backup provides an extra safety net.

Restoring a Backup

  1. Navigate to System > Settings > Backup.

  2. Click “Restore Backup”.

  3. Select the backup file from your computer.

  4. Click “Restore”.

The router will apply the configuration and restart.

Warning

Restoring a backup overwrites your current configuration entirely. Any changes made since the backup was created will be lost.
