restore on R6400V2

I have TWO R6400v2 routers.  Can I skip the tedious task of copying each and every setup parameter by just restoring the correct and tested backup from one router to the next?

  • If they're the exact same versions and models, yes. If they're different, then I wouldn't. 

    Also, if you're having issues, I wouldn't either as problems in settings can be carried over through backups.

      YOU ARE CORRECT!  Thanks.  Saved me hours of work.  Only thing I forgot to do is upgrade firmware....it also has to be the same.  🙂
