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.

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 44.

and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and
