Hello. &nbsp;I just purchased a cisco 1941 router and connected the usb console and configured. &nbsp;After config I was able to telnet fine. &nbsp;I also saved the run to start many times.<br />
<br />
Every time I turn on the router, it does not start. &nbsp;I then have to connect the console cable and to the boot command. &nbsp;It boots as a brand new router and configs are gone. &nbsp;Am I missing a step here?

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
