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.
Yes after a reset it will boot to the last firmware that was installed. And in order to connect to a network that's not broadcasting you have to select that option on the device. In windows right click on the connection goto properties and you will see an option to connect even if this network is not broadcasting.
Oh and then what do you mean by doing a reset ? With a paper clip at the back of the router, the 30-30-30 thing ? Because if that 's the way, what's à factory reset then ? I mean, isn't it supposed to revert to the original firmware ? Or is there a different reset ?
I think I did a factory reset. I used the paper clip in the back for 30 seconds. I did this twice, first time didn't seem to work. It wiped my confuration but left me with the latest firmware. I'm not sure what the 30-30-30 is but my goal was to simple wipe my configuration, not downgrade FW. Does that make sense?
A factory reset only wipes configuration. It does NOT downgrade firmware.
