You will not have to restart from scratch when unplugging. Unless the router loses its setting on power off, which is highly uncommon

As @microchip8 says, it should work just fine, but this would be a good time to backup your router's settings.

Visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.

Check the section in the manual Manage the Router Configuration File.
