Taking FRITZ!Box out of Operation
19 Taking FRITZ!Box out of Operation
In this chapter you receive tips and recommendations for taking the
FRITZ!Box out of operation.
19.1 Restoring Factory Settings
When the factory settings are restored to the FRITZ!Box, all of
the settings in the FRITZ!Box are restored to their condition
upon delivery. This way you can delete incorrect settings that
prevent the FRITZ!Box from functioning properly.
Resetting the FRITZ!Box has the following effects:
• All settings you made in the FRITZ!Box will be deleted.
• The network key in the factory settings will be activated
again.
• The IP configuration of the factory settings will be re-
stored.
Preparing to Load Factory Settings
Before loading the factory settings of your FRITZ!Box, save
your settings.
Saving FRITZ!Box Settings
Before loading the factory settings, save all of the settings
you made in your FRITZ!Box to a backup file. With this backup
file you can restore your settings to the FRITZ!Box at any time
or load them to another FRITZ!Box. See the section Saving the
FRITZ!Box Settings from page 28 for more information.
Please also follow our instructions for the correct disposal of
waste equipment on page 131.
Restoring the factory settings is also recommended if you
would like to pass the FRITZ!Box to another user.
