Back up current settings (optional)
NTC-220 series routers and their firmware upgrade files are designed to retain your existing settings throughout
the upgrade process. Strictly speaking you do not need to back up your current settings prior to the firmware
upgrade.
However, it is recommended that you back up your settings on a regular basis in case of damage to the NTC220
series router or an unexpected interruption during the firmware upgrade process.
To make a backup of your current router configuration do the following.
1 Log in to the NTC-220 web user interface and select
System from the menu at the top of the screen.
2 From the
System menu on the left, select System Configuration and then Settings backup and restore from
its submenu.
3 If you want the backup file to be encrypted, enter a
Password and then enter it again in the Confirm
password field.
Leave the two password fields empty if you do not require an encrypted backup file.
4 Click the
Save button to begin downloading the backup file.
5 A warning advising not to change the file extension will appear, click the
OK button to download the
configuration backup file.
6 The backup file in the following format will be saved in your browser’s designated download folder:
ntc_220_XXXX.cfg.tar.gz
Note
– We recommend that you save this backup file to a secure location.
Do not change the file extension of the router firmware files as this can cause the firmware upgrade process to fail.

updating and performs all the updates automatically.
To install the firmware upgrade do the following.
