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.

Also one reason for not being able to use config files on same brand but different models is that some project models do not have same features, hardware or options. So trying to load a config file from one model would differ on a different model. Industry wide and in most cases Mfrs don't allow this and it would probably cause un-necessary problems. Been like this for years. Though you CAN use same brand and same model config files on that level.
