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.
I lost my USB 3.0 access when I upgraded. It didn't recognize the drive any more (WD mybook - I tested a couple of them).
I did a factory reset and reentered my settings manually and then my USB 3.0 HDD returned, with write speeds averaging close to 40MB/s which is better than before.
Since I had to recreate my wireless netorks from scratch all my wireless clients lost their passwords - even though I used the same SSIDs and passwords all over again. No biggie.
Authentication on to the 5GHZ band seems a lot slower now but once the devices are connected performance seems fine.
This is my 4th netgear router. Been reading the posts here for years but this is the first time I've responded. Be nicer to the support staff people :)
How can your Clients loose their passwords? Thats not down to the router, that tbh sounds more like a typing error. Make a txt file r a word doc or whatever with all your settings on, open it in the backghround if needed, then copy and paste the settings back into the router. I must admot Netgear do seem to have got stuck with router features comapred with other manufactures, and a very tired old GUI needs updating, its also really slow on this release. maybe Arlo pushed the router a bit to hard, it would have been nice if that was an optional firmware update, as I will never use ut and it just blats ths router wile pushing netgears hardware like a advertisement. Also it has to be included make it opt in, not turned on as default!
