Does doing a hard reset on the router wipe the firmware upgrades I have already done?

Factory resets only erase users configurations and passwords. Nothing else!!! 

Good troubleshooting step if after a FW upate is applied, and something isn't working, do a reset as last resort. Usually fixes problems.

So I have forgotten my admin password to my RBR50,  and my answers to the security questions aren't working.  I have it written down, but is far away in another country. What I'm left with is doing a hard reset to my router. 

 

However,  a couple months ago, I upgraded the firmware to the router.....I was at least 10 versions behind.  I had to do some lengthy manual processes to get my router up to speed, before I could use the 'upgrade now' feature.

 

Furthermore,  the only reason I want to get in to my router right now is to upgrade to the latest firmware.

 

My question is,  if I do a hard reset/factory reset,  do I lose all the firmware updates I have already done?  If so, I would likely just keep it as is for now.

 

Thank you in advance!
