Restore the Access Point Configuration
If you backed up the configuration file, you can restore the configuration from this file.
To restore configuration settings that you backed up:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or to
the access point directly through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The default user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you
logged in.The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard page displays.
4. Select Management > Maintenance > Upgrade > Backup and Restore > Restore Settings.
The restore settings display.
5. Click the Browse button and navigate to and select the saved configuration file.
The name of the backup file from which you can restore the configuration is
wac505-Netgearxxxxxx-dd-mm-yy_hh-mm-ss-config.tar, in which xxxxxx represents the last six
hexadecimal digits of the access point’s MAC address, dd is the date, mm is the month, yy is the year,
hh is the hour (in 24-hour format), mm is the minutes, and ss is the seconds.
An example of a name of a backup file is wac505-Netgear01ABCD-02-08-17_19-57-54-config.tar.
6. Click the Restore button.
A pop-up warning window opens.
7. Click the Restore button.
The pop-up window closes and the configuration is uploaded to the access point. When the restoration
is complete, the access point reboots. This process takes about two minutes.
WARNING:
To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the restoration.
For example, do not close the browser, click a link, or load a new page. Do
not turn off the access point.Wait until the access point finishes restarting
and the Power LED turns solid green.
