Migrate from RBR 50 to RBE 773
Has anybody undertaken the above migration in order to retain all the setting from the RBR50 to the new RBE 773 so as not to have to setup every device again?
If so, would greatly appreciate the steps to go through - thank you in advance

Netgear does not provide a method to copy a configuration from one model of Orbi router to another. Most of us make screen shots of every page of the configuration and save them to a Word or Acrobat file.
Thank you ... this is what i have done - just in case i could copy it across
Usually you don't have to setup every device again if you re-use your same SSID and password. The devices should just auto-connect. I've been doing it for a while and I haven't had a device not connect yet.

I've done that for years. In this particular case, you should set up the new router to allow WPA2 connections (otherwise older clients won't connect).
But if you use MAC access controls or reserve a lot of IP addresses, then it will be more work.
Will do thank you
Perfect - i will be retaining the SSID and P/W... so hopefully it works - thank you
Something I do when migrating to a different system:
