My Netgear SRNX3205 Router allows me to backup the router settings to a file in a folder on my computer, (eg /home/leland/Downloads, for example). It very easy and quick to do, (eg takes about 30 seconds, if you know where to look in the router's software options.) If the router ever locks up or otherwise need to be reset or rebooted, and the setting are lost or reset to the defaults, I can easily restore them from the backup file on my computer.
Most Netgear Router have backup and restore option. Regards, LelandJ On 11/06/2010 03:38 PM, Michael Madigan wrote: > The computer at a customer's site was set to a static IP.
