Abstract
A method, system, and computer program enabling a client device to transfer a network configuration from a broadband modem to a residential gateway in a simple, user friendly process. This provides a simple installation procedure for a user. A different network switch such as a router, bridge, or brouter may be used instead of a residential gateway. The method may be implemented through a single command or single small set of user commands, such as through a pull down menu or an icon on the graphical user interface.
