Manage the configuration file of the access
point
The configuration settings of the access point are stored within the access point in a
configuration file. You can back up (save) this file to your computer or restore it.
Back up the access point configuration
You can save a copy of the current configuration settings. If necessary, you can restore
the configuration settings later.
Note: The backup file is saved in a binary format so that it is protected and cannot be
opened by a regular application.
To back up the access point’s configuration settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as
the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see What to do if you get a browser
security warning on page 42.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and
managed the access point through the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight app, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 24.
