Intro
-----

This tool can be used to apply fixes from RouterTech.Org to your Class II router's config file.
Class II routers are listed here: http://www.routertech.org/kb.php?mode=article&k=31

The fixes are included in the default config files that accompany RouterTech firmwares, but obviously your individual settings are not present and that's where this tool comes in. This tool can make the changes to your config file so that most if not all of your individual settings (ISP login details etc) are kept!


Quick instructions:
-------------------

1) Save your router's config (.bin) file to your hard drive.

   If you are unsure how to do this then do the following: on the router, click on the "Tools" menu, then click on "Update Gateway".
   Click on the "Get Configuration" button.

2) Upgrade your router's firmware as per the instuctions that come with the firmware.

3) Copy the config file to the same folder/directory as the Config Fixer.
   That way you will still have the original config file from step 1 safely stored on your computer.

4) Run the Config Fixer, and select the fix file from the dropdown that you wish to apply. If you haven't any additional fix files in the Fixer folder then    the default fix should be selected.

5) Click on "Fix!" and select the file you just copied into the Config Fixer folder.
   The Config Fixer will attempt to apply the fixes and you should be notified when it has finished (it takes only a few seconds).

6) Back on your router, tell it to load the 'fixed' config file from the Config Fixer folder.



Notes:
------

Step 2) above is optional depending on whether you wish to upgrade your firmware to the latest RouterTech release or simply apply the fixes to your existing config/firmware.

In some cases (with some models/firmwares) you may see the Internal Communication Error (aka ICE which seems to plague some routers) after step 6).
If that is the case, switching the router off (waiting a few seconds) and then switching it on, seems to correct this problem.

This utility uses the zlib.dll for zipping/unzipping files - if you don't already have this DLL installed on your computer you should be able to download it from the Internet if you do a quick search for it.
