GS724TPv2 Auto-VoIP Firmware Version
I have a number of GS724TPv2's and want to start using the Auto-VoIP features. I can get them to firmware version 1.1.50.39 without issue, but read that if I want to go to the latest (6.2.1.13) it will erase the config and I will need to start over. Because I have so many and don't want to spend a lot of time upgrading to 6.x.x.x if I don't have to, I'd like to ask (1) if there are great Auto-VoIP enhancements or bug fixes going from 1.1.50.39 to 6.2.1.13, and (2) if so, will the config indeed be wiped out and I would need to start the config from scratch again. I don't really care about the nicer GUI and some of the and other features 6.x.x.x bring. So, wondering if it worth the effort or if Auto-VoIP will reliable work staying on 1.1.50.39. Thanks.

Mixing up different switch models? There is no v6.x.x x firmware for the GS724TPPv2. The major update step requiring erasing the config os the conversion from some v1.x via an intermediate version to v2.x. Follow the conversion stepsas documented carefully
So yes, you have to take full notes of the complete existing v1.x config, and re-do it from scratch on V2 x.
As if writing, the current version is -> https://kb.netgear.com/000066697/GS724TPv2-GS724TPP-Firmware-Version-2-0-8-21
V6.x only exists for the newer GS724TPv3 / GS724TPPv3 models.
