Abstract
An apparatus, system, method, and computer-readable recording medium maintain device settings for a wireless device after a factory default reset operation. A settings mode is invoked that provides options for selecting device settings for the wireless device. One or more device settings for the wireless device are selected to be set as persistent device settings, and the persistent device setting are stored in a memory. After the one or more device settings for the wireless device are set as persistent device settings, the persistent device settings will remain unchanged from a previous value after the factory default reset operation is performed on the wireless device.
Claims19
A method for maintaining device settings for a wireless device after a factory default reset operation, the method comprising:
- invoking, from a user interface, a settings mode, the settings mode providing options for selecting device settings for the wireless device;
- selecting, from a graphical user interface (GUI), one or more device settings for the wireless device to be set as persistent device settings;
- and
- storing, in a memory, the persistent device settings selected and terminating the settings mode,
- wherein the persistent device settings will remain unchanged from a previous value after the factory default reset operation is performed on the wireless device.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for maintaining devices settings on a wireless device after a factory default reset operation, the non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing one or more programs which when executed by a hardware processor performs steps comprising:
- invoking a settings mode, the settings mode providing options for selecting device settings for the wireless device;
- selecting one or more device settings for the wireless device to be set as persistent device settings;
- and
- storing the persistent device settings selected, and terminating the settings mode,
- wherein the persistent device settings will remain unchanged from a previous value after a factory default reset operation is completed.
A modem/gateway device capable of maintaining device settings after a factory default reset operation comprising:
- a user interface;
- a graphical user interface (GUI);
- a hardware processor;
- and
- a non-transitory memory configured to store one or more programs,
- wherein the hardware processor executes the one or more programs to:
- invoke a settings mode using the user interface, the settings mode providing options for selecting device settings for the wireless device;
- select using the GUI one or more device settings for the wireless device to be set as persistent device settings;
- and
- store in the non-transitory memory the persistent device settings selected and terminate the settings mode,
- wherein the persistent device settings will remain unchanged from a previous value after the factory default reset operation is performed on the modem/gateway device.
