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.
Immediately following this update I lost my two Samsung Wifi Camera connections and all 5 Nest Protect Smoke Detectors. I was able to re-open all the port triggers that got wiped by the update but no luck getting the two cameas back on-line. Other 2.4 GHz connections are working fine but not the Cameras - Yes using same SSID and PW, etc. I finally regressed back to the prior release, restored my configuration file and viloa! everything works again. Yes, I tried disabling the Ario support but that made no impact in this case. Something very messed up with this release.
