Orbi Router reset to factory defaults, lost my entire configuration!
I was experiencing some problems with slow wifi (speed test under QoS was showing accurate available speed 200+ down, 20+ up), Apple TV was getting highly variable speed as low as 5Mb up to maybe 30M...
Before this happens again, create a backup of your settings, if you haven't already.
- Advanced
- Administration
- Backup settings
The main reason I had not done this already is that you cannot rely on a configuration backup being usable after a firmware upgrade. This is one of the things that I (and many others) find so frustrating - pretty much all router makers don’t care about their users enough to solve this problem. It IS solvable - document when you change things, and save config backups in a format that can be edited by a user.
