Use Existing Config File To Setup A New Router
I hope someone can clear this up for me. I have an older Netgear WINR2000 N300 router. I am wanting to upgrade to a newer model with gigabit speed (wired), I was eyeing the WINDR4300 N750. It looks like it would suit my needs. Anyway, me real question is this. Can I export all my settings from my existing NetGear router, then use that file to configure a new one, saving me from having to re-enter all my static IP addresses, port settings, and other settings that I have made over the years? I have been told "Yes" as well as "No", I even got a "Maybe" and a couple of "Probablies". It is a lazy man's solution, I know. I just would like the quickest way. It seems like an obvious workable solution, but we all know how that sort of logic plays out in the real world. Also, I would love t see some reccemendations for what model router I should choose. I am not too price sensitive, but I don't need business class for home, even though I am using an HP Pro Curve 2810 24G Switch. Wireless is for a couple of tablets and smart phones, a laptop or two. Most devices are using wired connections. Thank you in advance for your assistance.Solved
