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
-
Navigate to
System > Settings > Backup. -
Click “Download Backup”.
-
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
-
Navigate to
System > Settings > Backup. -
Under “Restore Backup”, click “Choose File” and select the backup file from your computer.
-
Click “Restore”.
-
A confirmation dialog explains that all current settings will be overwritten and the router will reboot. Click “Restore & Reboot” to proceed.
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.
