Re: Refresher on firmware updateand downgrade

I'm running firmware V1.0.9.42_10.2.44 on my R7000, and I thought I'd update to v1.0.9.64. I've backed up my settings. Should the update prove unwise. I thought I'd restore my present firmware, but where is the link to download V1.0.9.42_10.2.44? Second, is there a recommended procedure to install the update, such as a hard reset of the router before updating? After I update, can I use my exported cfg file (from my V1.0.9.42_10.2.44) to set the config of the new firmware? I shouild point out that the router works great (on the high band) with the current firmware, so is there a good reason to update, such as security patches, etc.? Thanks!

There is support material, including a manual and a firmware library, for the R7000 somewhere at the end of this link:

Re: Refresher on firmware updateand downgrade
Thanks for the suggestions and links. I updated and suffered no ill effects. After a few pc reboots, all is well, and my d/u speed remains at 100+/11 Mbps (Spectrum), with no connection issues on the network. At this point, a hard reset of the router is not indicated, so I'll forego that option for at least the time being.
