I am migrating from Orbi RBR50 to this new Orbi and am very concerned if I will have to go out and reconfigure many of my devices - especially the IOT devices such as Nest Smoke Detectors.
Have over 75 IP addresses being used in the house - dont want to spend the entire thanksgiving weekend re configuring different devices.
Are there any best practices to transition painlessly?
For exapmple backing up the settings of the RBR50 (the file is called NETGEAR_Orbi.cfg ) and then restoring to the RBR E 960?
I will appreciate any guidance.
Thanks.
