Configuration Backup/Restore
Configuration backup/restore allows you to download the configuration file
from the device to external storage, e.g., your PC, or network storage, or to
upload a previously saved configuration file from external storage to the
device. It is highly recommended you save one extra copy of the configuration
file to external storage after you are done with access point setup.
