Safeguarding Your Network

To change the administrator password:

1. On the main menu, under Maintenance, select Set Password to display the Set Password 

screen.

2. To change the password, first enter the old password, then enter the new password twice. 

3. Click Apply.

The configuration settings of the N300R router are stored within the router in a configuration file. 
You can back up (save) this file and retrieve it later. On Networks recommends that you save your 
configuration file after you complete the configuration. If the router fails or becomes corrupted, or 
an administrator password is lost, you can easily re-create your configuration by restoring the 
configuration file.

Tip: Before saving your configuration file, change the administrator password to the 

default, password. Then change it again after you have saved the configuration file. 
If you save the file with a new password, and then you later forget the new 
password, you will have to reset the router back to the factory defaults and log in 
using the default password of password. This means you will have to re-enter all the 
router configuration settings.
