Saving and restoring FRITZ!Repeater settings

You can save the settings of your FRITZ!Repeater in a backup file and use it to restore all of the settings, if necessary.

Note:You can also have the push service save the settings automatically. The 'Save Settings' push service automatically sends an email with the backup file before every update and each time the factory settings are loaded.

Requirements / Restrictions

  • When restoring the backup file in a different FRITZ!Repeater, the FRITZ!OS version of the other FRITZ!Repeater must be at least as high as the FRITZ!OS version of the old FRITZ!Repeater.

Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Repeater.
