config file
Is it possible to use the config file on different model routers of the same brand?

I wouldn't do it/try it (if it'd even let you).
They use different hardware.
Even some of the same models with different versions use different hardware.

To add to the response from plemans, this is a long-running issue, with its own venerable discussion in the suggestions zone. There's never much in the way of a response from Netgear.
Never rebuild a configuration from scratch again! - NETGEAR Communities
It seems to be an industry wide problem. You can't export and reimport bits of the configuration.
My solution is to file away a set of screenshots of key settings.
