If you are going backwards in release number you might still have them (that is from one of the older recalled beta's). However there is NO guarantee they will work. In cases like that you have to RESET the router and then re-apply manually your setting for proper operation.
If you are moving up from and older official release, like V1.0.4 or older you don't need to reset the router but it is advised. In this case I'd give it a try, have any problems, reset and re-enter is the first thing to try. DO NOT load saved settings from any other version into a new one. That seems to be asking for trouble these days.
I just updated as well. My 5G is fine but my 2.4G status shows good, but nothing will connect to it. I went in and disabled Arlo, but that didn't help, I still can't connect to my 2.4G network. Is anyone else having this issue?
I have cycled the power on the router but haven't tried a hard reset (reset button). Is a hard reset required for the firmware to update properly? I can see the 2.4Ghz is there from my devices, they just won't complete the login process. I do not broadcast my SSID's, but have even tried broadcasting to no avail....
Many people experience problems when they don't reset the router after doing a firmware update. Press in the reset button for 30 seconds to ensure a proper reset.
I reset both before and after a firmware flash because I had a problem once when I didn't reset before a firmware flash.
A hard reset, I have not done this before. Is there a procedure to follow ?
Do a hard reset completely clear the settings and do I have to save my settings ?
Is it the same as a "complete factory reset" ?
Thanks
