    hey guys here i am again to ask some questions.
    i got tired of my internet being kinda weak upstairs so i went through some of my routers and found one that would work. i got the firmware on and i think it configured right (i got a stronger signal upstairs now) so i guess its working.
    my question is. i didn't see an option to logout but i did save all i did and applied changes at the end of the configuration. can i unplug the router to move it closer to where i want it without it forgetting the settings i saved?

    As long as it was saved then you can safely unplug it and move it. Just enter back into the router before you move it to make sure your changes are still applied.

    It's a D-Link router. i was on three pages while in the router on each page i saved and after i saved on the third page i applied changes, the router rebooted. the signal is a lot better so it's got to be working.

    If the router rebooted then it did apply and save the changes.
