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.

Hi everyone, i wish to provide my feedback on R7000. So i own this device since 2 years now and i've tried every firmware out there because i basically wanted a nas in my router and stock firmware didn't provide enough features for me. Now i'm back to stock since transmission(aka netgear downloader) was added to it. My experience with all firmwares and 1.06.28 has always been rock solid, i didn't experience any of the issues people on this thread posted so i think that the problems people are facing might be related to hardware somehow. People who buy R7000 today might have slightly different hardware than those who bought it on release or whatever.
