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.

Sign up for account.
Download latest version.
The recommended procedure:
1. Reset your router to factory defaults via (Push reset button for 8 seconds on the R7000) Log into 192168.1.1 follow default steps.
2. Flash the R7000_xxx.xx_x.chk file via the web interface.
3. Do another factory reset via the new web interface.
4. Configure everything else.I did this last noght it is a very stable and really cool Firmware. My wireless range and speeds increased as well. This firmware was built for the R7000

This is my 5th Netgear router. I've followed alot of firmware updates for several devices.
It's hard to say - But this firmware (Asus Merlin) is the best and fastest firmware I've ever run on a Netgear device.
0 Problems if you proced the update steps.
Sorry for that - But it's really a great update for the R7000.
