Saving and Retrieving the Configuration

The Backup/Restore Settings menu allows you to save or retrieve a file containing your wireless
access point's configuration settings.
To save your settings, click the Save button. Your browser will extract the configuration file from
the wireless access point and prompts you for a location on your computer to store the file. You
can give the file a meaningful name at this time, such as WG102.cfg.
To restore your settings from a saved configuration file, enter the full path to the file on your
computer or click the Browse button to locate the file. When you have located it, click the Retrieve
button to upload the file. After completing the upload, the WG102 will reboot automatically.

Restoring the WG102 to the Factory Default Settings

It is sometimes desirable to restore the wireless access point to the factory default settings. This
can be done by using the Restore function, which restores all factory settings. After a restore, the
wireless access point's password will be password, the SSID will be NETGEAR, the DHCP client
will be disabled, the default LAN IP address will be 192.168.0.229, and the access point name is
reset to the name printed on the label on the bottom of the unit.
