Hi floogy,
As a follow-up to adit's response unto you, I just want to inform you that importing a configuration file from 3.1.1-08 to the latest 4.3.3-6 firmware might not work. It would be best that you save screenshots of each setting configured on the FVS336Gv2 as your reference.

Hello, Thank you. So I might try to import the saved 3.1.1-08 config into the resetted 4.3.3-6 firmware? If that fails, I still could reset to factory defaults by pressing the reset button? Or is it possible to harm the router that way, that I turn it into a paper weight or brick?
I saved screenshots by firefox scrapbook add-on anyway. I'm just wondering, if I can flawlessy and safely try to load the config anyway, because it's very much work to reconfigure the firewall manually, screen for screen, and just start over with resetting and manually configuration if the config import fails. Or would that be a bad idea, and I have to reset and manually reconfigure it anyway?
TIA
kind regards
