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.

Mar 02, 2016I thank all of you for your help! Im just really confused here? My nighthawk is hooked up to my comcast modem and i cannot update firmware hard wired at all...the only way it will let me do any updates is wireless? Everytime i type in routerlogin.net on my desktop it says page cannot be found as long as i have the ethernet jack plugged into my desktop...but if i unplug the ethernet jack and connect my desktop wirelessly then it works then I can type in router login.net...why it works like that i dont know??? Also if i use my smart phone and go into chrome browser it will work too...and let me update wireless online...anyone know why it wont let me log in on my desktop while the hardwires plugged in??? I have the nighthawk plugged into my comcast router...and thats it...and the only reason i bought the nighthawk is to increase my range and speed...because the comcast router the range was very low...
