Saving And Restoring Settings With A Backup File; Save Settings To A Backup File - Buffalo AirStation WHR-1166D User Manual

Saving and Restoring Settings with a Backup File

Once you have finished configuring your AirStation to your needs, you can save the current configuration to a backup
file. This file can be used to restore the AirStation's settings when needed. For example, the AirStation will initialize its
settings after a hard reset. Instead of re-configuring the unit, simply use the backup file to restore its previous settings.
The backup file is not automatically updated when you make further AirStation configuration changes.

Save Settings to a Backup File

You can access Save settings by navigating to the Admin - Reset / Reboot.

alphanumeric characters and underscores (_).
3
Click Execute. The Save As dialog appears.
4
Click OK.
Once the file has been saved to your system, do not rename the backup file. If needed, you can put the file into another
folder.
