This is a must.Alternately, a lot of them now allow creating backups of the settings. Most of these just output XML, so even if you're new router isn't the same, you can pluck your settings out of the XML file.But when they don't have that...screenshots it is. Agreed. This is a must.

Makes it easy to switch back when playing with changing DNS servers, as well as swapping out routers. Also, you know you're on firm ground when talking to your ISP about dis functional connections.
