All links to 1.0.6.54 seem to lead nowhere. "Requested file does not exist" Another failed beta? Are we going to just give up on Arlo support for this router? I think at this point, for our troubles, we all deserve a free Arlo base station.
"You can now download the beta"? All netgear firmware appears to be "beta" as of late! Sounds like it's well passed time to fire the programming team and hire someone who knows what they are doing!

Not advisable. The data can change between f/w versions. Only reliable when re-flashing the SAME version after you install it and reset. Other case would be if you made changes and didn't like them and wanted to restore the settings you had before changing them. This is especially true if you are going backwards in versions.
However I guess you could try it, but if you have problems, RESET and then manually enter required settings, but it isn't advised to do this.
If my memory recall is correct, that was one of the Arlo beta's. If so, people going backwards did complain about an Arlo SSID broadcasting but it didn't work. Seems to have been a remnant of the old beta left. Reseting the router after the backward flash did fix that problem.
I'm not sure what settings I changed from factory default. I have at least 8 port forwarding settings that I added. Will those change? Is there a way to get a list of settings that one needs to record befor a factory reset is done.

Click on Apply button on every page to change setings after factory reset? I am geting along in years, so I hate to keep using up remaining Lifetime .. You have been helpful! A modern household, as I have, with all kinds of home automation, cameras, advanced HAM radio, security systems and the "plain vanilla" computers has created the most challenging task in electronics... Routers! The R7000 is a great router for me, I struugle to keep up with updates to firmware when a new option arises, like Arlo. The support on Netgear tends to fade away after a new release. Companies need to release firmware in the same way that hardware was released when i was an engineer. Test it, test it and test it some more until everyone is happy. Thank You
I have OpenVPN also set up on the router. Do any openvpn settings get erased in the router with a factory reset? It is a pain to set up and I can't really test it from home. It is taking me a lot of time to do R7000 firmware changes when a factory reset is called for.... very painful process.
Not sure Netgear would appreciate me posting a link to it since the thread has been removed so PM me and I'll send you a Dropbox link for this firmware.
