Foedus Gratiae Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Is this supposed to happen: I simply unplugged my router for 30 seconds in order to set up new port forwarding for Overwatch. When I turned it back on the port forwarding was set but everything else on the router was set back to factory defaults. Wow. That's annoying. Is this supposed to happen? If not, any ideas what happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmDawgg Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Loss of power causes the router to lose settings. Either by unplugging or power outages. I can't confirm this but I thought the router after being on for a certain length of time would cause the router to save settings but I can't guarantee it. I do know that if you change anything that you want to stick settings wise - Reboot by way of Settings>Miscellaneous. And make sure cookies is selected.

Foedus Gratiae Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'm realizing now that I should have rebooted from settings, but I am really surprised it didn't default save those settings. Cookies were selected but not after reset. Oh well. Time to re enter all the information again... BTW, it would be nice to have a restart router button next to the "Time" and "Upgrade" buttons, not stuck in misc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please if you have any others do not hesitate to post. It would be nice for the router to auto save after making any changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
