If the AP does not save the changes that you make through the local browser UI, do the
following:
• When entering configuration settings, always click the Apply button before moving
to another page or tab, or your changes are lost.
• If the page in the local browser UI displays a Refresh button, click it. It is possible
that the changes occurred, but the old settings might be in the web browser's cache.
