Hmmm.. That sounds cool.. I am using the Linksys
BEFSR81 v2 model.
I haven't finished reading the manual yet. Is there
instructions in the manual to
backup settings? If so, that would solve my problem
all the way around.
Except, if I can't get into the router to begin with,
I can't backup the settings.
hmmm.. still an interesting idea.
Thank you very much for the suggestion, anyway..
