Backup / Restore
I've currently got the Orbi 750 3-pack, but I'm considering an upgrade to the 970 alongside a broadband speed upgrade. Can I restore the backup file from my 750s to the 970 to speed up the setup proce...
No. Different systems means different backups.
Things always tend to work better when you set up the configuration from scratch vs loading a previous cfg file. In this case, I am not sure it would even allow uploading the file, but even if it does, I would not recommend uploading a configuration file from a different system as it could cause issues and not translate well into your new system. It most likely will cause issues.
One thing you can do, is print your setup pages on your old system to a PDF, then refer to your specific settings that you have when you are setting up the new one.
Or if you have specific setup information on certain pages, such as a number of port forwarding or something like that, print those to a pdf and refer to that when you are setting up the new system to make it easier to remember your specifics.
