What other router settings may be useful?

In addition to your Internet connection settings, there are advanced settings and features on your Wireless MAXg Router that you may find useful.

Set the Time on your router.

Why?

Setting the time on your router assures that system logs will generate useful information so you can track system events. Also, if you are setting up any parental controls or firewall rules, you must set the time to be sure that the rules will be applied correctly.

How?

You can set your Time settings from the Device page.

 

Create a backup of your router settings.

Why?

In the event of a device failure or if you need to restore to the factory default settings of your router, you can restore your settings from the backup and you will not have to re-enter all of your settings. If you have parental control rules or firewall settings for specific gaming devices or applications, this can save a lot of time in getting your full network up and functioning.

How?

Create a backup: To create a backup of your router settings, go to the Device page and follow the instructions.

Restore from a backup: To restore your router settings from a backup file, go to the Device page and follow the instructions.

 

 

Check for updates for your router.

Why?

Updates may be available for your router. These firmware updates can provide new and added features to your router, and in some cases even fix performance issues some users may have. It is a good idea to check for updates after you have initially installed and configured your router, and also to check for updates on a regular basis.

How?

To check for updates for your router, go to the Device page and follow the instructions.
