Upgrading a RBR50 to RBE771
Is there an easier way to update the info into the new router without typing in all the reserved IPs and other common setting? I really don't want to add 60+ items one by one again.

I have made the change to the RBE771 and overall it went well Thanks HappyCat . Still working out a few bugs and typos. I have a couple of 2.4G WiFi ceiling fans that keep dropping plus a few other things but the updated Orbi has many nice changes & updates.
One thing I have noticed is the web interface and Phone app are very different. The web is very easy to name items and arrange different looks. The app has a mind of its own and gives random names to things and still is not very versatile. It won't let you change things such as brand or model names .

Agreed. I only use the web interface myself.
