Restoring ORBI RBR50 router configuration file to RBR20 router - Possible?
I just purchased a new Orbi RBR20 setup (1 router + 2 sat) and I want to dump my old RBR50 but keep my existing config.
Is it possible to use the RBR50 router config file on the RBR20 router? I don't want to start from scratch..

Though some similarities, the backup config files are marked for each model Orbi so there would be probably a check on this when you attempted to load the other config file to the new system and would probably not be accepted. I would be best to set up from scratch and then save off a new config file for the new system.
OK next question would be ..
Can I use same SSID and password for wifi at least? I am going to guess no?
I have a bunch of IoT devices that I really don't want to have to add again..
Yes you can. You can use same SSID and PW as before with other system. Aslong as other system isn't being used.
