I have a Westell 7500 DSL modem that allows the backup of the config settings internally. I need to replace the modem and am hoping there is a way to save the settings externally so as to use on new modem. Any insight would be very much appreciated.
Tnx!

Bottom line there is no way to save to an external hard drive, flash drive etc. This used to drive me nuts escpecially having to setup port forwarding for STEAM! Best you can do is wrtie everyting down and enter it manually into the new router. Now I have FIOS & I can save the config file to my hard drive (ActionTec MI424WR-Gen2) I tested it & I am able to restore settings!
I didn't think there was a way. Thanks Westell. If the modem dies your screwed. Not having a way to backup to a external source is very poor planning. I've written down all my settings and configurations. Its gonna be annoying typing in all the MAC addresses. But I have no choice. Modem Ratings all-in-all IMO, 3 on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being best.
