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.
