TP-Link Archer VR1600v

[remonavon]

I have the above modem supplied by TPG some years ago. Recently some of the settings became corrupted and required re-entering which took a great deal of time. TP-Link Technical Support advised I should be able to save the settings in System Tools > Backup and Restore.

My modem does NOT have a Backup and Restore menu item in System Tools. The choices I have in System Tools are as follows:

-Time Settings 

-LED Controls

-Diagnostics

-Firmware Upgrade

-Reboot

-Administration

-System Log

-SNMP Settings

-Traffic Monitor

There is no Backup and Restore

Can you please advise if there is a Firmware update that will give a Backup function.

The modem details I have are as follows:

Hi @remonavon 

The modem/router is currently running with the latest firmware available.

The backup and restore function is not a supported feature on the TPG provided modem/router.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

I'm disappointed that Backup function is not a supported feature your supplied TP-Link modem. This baffles me as I would have thought a back-up function would be a priority for any device that requires user specific settings.

May I ask why this function was removed?
