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. Open 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 opens.
If your browser does not open the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 37.
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 app or Insight Cloud portal, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 22.

6. Enter a password to protect the backup file, and click the Continue button.
You can either use your existing password (the one that you use to log in to the
access point) or enter a unique password.
The password must be 8 to 63 characters in length and must contain at least one
uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number. The following special
characters are allowed:
! @ # $ % ^ & * ( )
Tip: We recommend that you save the password because you must enter it again
if you restore the configuration from the backup file.
