There are a few things when it comes to wireless networks that are best done by software programs. One of them is to add the very same settings that have been added to one computer system to another computer system. This can be necessary to be able to use the same wireless network settings on all computers or to migrate the settings to a new computer system that has been bought recently to replace the old one. The manual way would mean to enter data like the (usually long and cryptic) pre-shared key and other settings that might confuse some users.
Wireless Migrator, a software program for the Windows operating system, comes to the rescue. The portable software program can be used to backup and restore wireless networks easily. All that needs to be done to backup the wireless settings of a computer system is to execute the program after downloading and unpacking it. It will automatically scan for configured wireless networks and save them to the same directory.
The filename will usually be RestoreWireless.wnb which can be executed on the target computer to install all wireless profiles on that system as well. This will add all wireless networks to that computer system as well without having to setup and configure these manually.

Using the Wireless Network Setup Wizard (XP or later) will create a UFD that can be used to store network settings. In fact, I have moved the files for it onto the storage disk of my wireless computer, so that I don’t need to find the UFD to enter the key.
