This sounds
very odd to me. I have a different Linksys router - a WRT54G. On mine, settings are stored in non-volatile memory. I can power off and back on, and expect previously stored settings to be there. (Indeed, power cycling is one standard method of resolving problems .)
If yours is losing configuration when the power goes, I suspect either a defective router or errors in configuring in the first place.
One common error users make on routers like this is that settings may
not be cumulative. If you make changes on a configuration page, you generally must click the save button
on that page before proceeding to other pages. You
can't make changes on a number of config pages in succession and then hit save once to store all of them.
