Configuring Router using Older Router Backup
Switching out routers from a N600 (WNDR3700v3) to a new XR500. Can the configuration settings backup from the N600 be used to configure the new router for the same port forwarding, passwords, wireless, etc? And if so, is it wise to do so or is it better to re-enter everything manually? Thank you!

Re: Configuring Router using Older Router Backup
I wouldn't try to reuse the configuration settings as the N600 was released in 2011. many changes since then plus the XR500 uses dumaos. If you could even force it to work it might brick the xr500. Better to do it manually.

Re: Configuring Router using Older Router Backup
The XR will not allow a saved configuration file to be use from a different model router.
Please manually set up from scratch ON the XR router and save off a new saved router config file on the XR router.
