>>Your Linksys device should not lose its settings if it loses power. If it does there's something wrong with it.

>>What model and revision is the device, and what firmware is it running? Some firmwares on some models are not stable and show problems like not automatically renewing DHCP leases etc.

>>Assuming we're talking about a router, one I can highly recommend is the Linksys WRT-54GL (note the "L" at the end). Take that device and replace its firmware with the free/open source dd-WRT and you have a rock-solid, highly capable router. I have these in heavy use at half a dozen clients and have never, not once, had any trouble with any of them. If your current router is giving you any kind of trouble just replace it with one of these - best $70 you'll ever spend.

Also apart from what Al said, you must "Save and Re-boot " from the admin in the browser so that the router saves and reboots.
If the settings were just changed then It would be lost on power failure.
