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.

So after a week I still have issues with my Hunter ceiling fans. They have an app called simplyconnect (not so simple) and its was renamed Hunter Smart ( not smart either). Funny thing is as an extra perk? the app finds all your other loT items as well. The ONLY thing it can't find is its own ceiling fans!!
They recommend having the 2.4/5G together may cause an issue and to use WPA2 only and turn off WPA3. Sooooo I created the loT WiFi with those off and still no joy! I saw them for a moment with a 2.4G loT SSID and then nada. On my old RBR50 they added fine despite the 2.4/5G on one SSID. Of course it didn't have WPA3 but that issue should be solved as well. I'm calling Hunter tomorrow but I'm sure they will just blame Apple, Orbi or both.
Any ideals??
