Can you restore a config from an RBR50?
Just curious if it's possible to restore an RBK50 config to the new models. I put in a feature request a long time ago to allow config to carry over from model to model as basically you have to g...
Yes you can. If you make one RBR your master configuration and set it up as you want. Run a back up configuration to file. You can use this backup file to load up other RBR50 series routers. I would not enable Armor or Circle on the master configuration. Do this after you load up a different RBR. The configuration file is not HW or HW serial number specific.

I put in a feature request a long time ago to allow config to carry over from model to model as basically you have to go through the same dance each time your upgrade your gear, setting MAC directed address assignments, identifying and naming devices, etc.
Seems especially important now with ancillary services assocaited with each router like Armor and Circle.
BTW, if I upgrade will I have to rebuy these ancillary services?
- I interpreted the question to mean "can I take a configuration file from one model of Orbi and use it to configure a different model, such as an RBR20 or one of the AX models?" I also rely one the config file from one RBR50 working on other RBR50s, but doubt that it can be used on other models. Certainly would be useful.
Yes, a 50 series backup file can't be used on 20 or 40 series systems and vs versa. Backup files are used with in there own specific model fields.
