only need to use the command line interface if you need to recover the firmware.
See the CLI Reference Guide for how to determine if you need to recover the
firmware and how to recover it.

You cannot delete the following configuration files or change their file names.
The system -default.conf file contains the device’s default settings. Select this
file and click Apply to reset all of the device settings to the factory defaults. This
configuration file is included when you upload a firmware package.
The startup- config.conf file is the configuration file that the device is currently
using. If you make and save changes during your m anagement session, the
changes are applied to this configuration file. The device applies configuration
changes made in the Web Configurator to the configuration file when you click
Apply or OK. It applies configuration changes made via commands when you use
the write command.
The lastgood.conf is the most recently used (valid) configuration file that was
saved when the device last restarted. If you upload and apply a configuration file
with an error, you can apply lastgood.conf to return to a valid configuration.
When you change the device’s operation mode, it backs up the configuration to a
xxx-backup.conf file where xxx denotes the mode the NWA3000-N series AP was
previously using.
