RBR850 Factory reset?
Hi Orbi guru's... I have had my RBR850 and two RBS850's for a couple of years now and all is good. My question for this evening... Should I perform a factory reset as good practice after numerou...
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Make a backup of the configuration any time there is a significant change. That way, if a Factory Reset should become necessary in the future (when things are not working!), you have the potential to avoid a lot of tedious setup by restoring the configuration file from the backup.
If your not seeing any issues. Don't fix it.
Power OFF for 1 minute then back ON is a good 1st step.
Last resort is a FR and setup from scratch.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Thanks, chaps! I'll refrain from curiosity getting the better of me 🙂
Can always stop by here in the forums and ask questions prior to doing something.
Have fun.
