Maintenance > Backup/Restore 

Export setting allows you to back up (save) the WAP6806’s current configuration to a file on your 
computer. Once your WAP6806 is configured and functioning properly, it is highly recommended 
that you back up your configuration file before making configuration changes. The backup 
configuration file will be useful in case you need to return to your previous settings.

Click Export to save the WAP6806’s current configuration to your computer.

Import setting allows you to upload a new or previously saved configuration file from your 
computer to your WAP6806.

Note: Do not turn off the WAP6806 while configuration file import is in progress.

After you see a “configuration upload successful” screen, you must then wait one minute before 
logging into the WAP6806 again.

The WAP6806 automatically restarts in this time causing a temporary network disconnect. In some 
operating systems, you may see the following icon on your desktop.

Temporarily Disconnected 

If you uploaded the default configuration file you may need to change the IP address of your 
computer to be in the same subnet as that of the default WAP6806 IP address (192.168.1.2). Refer 
to your operating system’s help files for details on how to set up your computer’s IP address.
