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.
How is the 5ghz band ?
The 5Ghz band seems to be good, I've tried both my One+ and my LG tablet and they both have a clear and fast signal. I'll try my laptop later, but there is no doubt that it will connect fast and easy :)
I'll update this post when I'm on my laptop.
I have the latest firmware now, and other than not being able to login to the router in Router mode via my PC connected via LAN port, I dont have any other issues with the latest firmware.
EDIT: Now am not able to login to the router in 1.0.4 firmware as well after I upgraded to the latest firmware, but not much of an issue as I use the router in Wireless AP mode and in that everything works. So at the moment am sticking with 1.0.6.28.
Weird... Of course you've tried with different browsers, emptied the cache, and so on? No restriction on the configuration?
