rbr20 to ax4200 migration
Considering upgrading from an RBR20 to an AX4200. QUESTION: Can I use the exisiting config file from the RBR20 and restore it to the AX4200? SCENARIO: I currently have 42 devices (cameras, pc's, and...
No. its different hardware.
I definitely wouldn't use the config file.
This is a great chance for an experiment. As soon as the new router is up, go through the setup long enough to reach the point where you have a choice of "Load a previously saved configuration" or "Continue manual setup."
My money is on the router rejecting the saved configuration as invalid. Suppose loading the configuration does "something horrible". Just do a factory reset and "all is forgiven".
Cross using backup config files on other product lines is not supported nor will it work. There all tied to there perspective product ID lines and this is check when the file is attempted to be loaded by the router. Also there are too many differences (features and UI) between products that makes this not possible.
