Yes, when a backup configuration is loaded, everything returns.
WiFi credentials (SSID/password)
LAN Setup (IP assignments)
Channel assignments
OpenVPN configuration
.... everything.
Thanks.
I wanted to be sure as I need to update my firmware and every time I do it it my Orbi continually drops connection to my ISP around every 24 hours and I have to reboot it to get things working again. This has been happening since the the 7.2.x firmware has been released so I'm currently running on 4.6.14.3_2.3.12 which has been stable but is missing all the latest security fixes.
I will give it a go
Please review this to manually update a Orbi system, works well:
