Another noob question because I don't want the grief of having to reconfigure everything.
I'm considering upgrading to Kong test firmware r34900M 02-12-18 on my r7800.
dd-wrt installation instructions make it clear you should revert to Factory Defaults and then do your firmware upgrade. You then manually reconfigure everything.
I've seen comments of others about upgrading to various firmware without doing a "reset". Does this mean you can do a firmware upgrade from the GUI and hopefully keep all your current settings?
Currrently main network of eth1 ath0 ath1 are sent by PBR through PIA openvpn. Subnets of ath0.1 and ath1.1 do not go through vpn. Also have 16 static leases set up.
Given the current maturity state of the dd-wrt firmware what is the probability of problems when doing an upgrade without resetting everything first? _________________ R7800 r53339 std (08/01/23)
Private network on bridge br0 = eth1 (vlan 1) + wlan0 + wlan1.
Guest network on bridge br1 = eth1.4 (vlan 4) + VAPs (wlan0.1 + wlan1.1) for IOT devices
(Roku's, Amazon Echos, smart switches, etc.) and guest.
Noob still finding my way.
swconfig dev switch0 set enable_vlan 1
swconfig dev switch0 vlan 1 set ports "1 2 6"
swconfig dev switch0 vlan 4 set ports "3 4 6t"
swconfig dev switch0 set apply
vconfig add eth1 4
brctl addif br1 eth1.4
ifconfig eth1.4 up
Resetting is not mandatory, but if you are flashing from stock to ddwrt or from an old ddwrt then it will save you lots of headaches. _________________ R6400v2 (boardID:30) - Kong 36480 running since 03/09/18 - (AP - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7800 - BS 31924 running since 05/26/17 - (AP - OpenVPN Client - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7000 - BS 30771 running since 12/16/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - OpenVPN Server - Transmission - DDNS - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R6250 - BS 29193 running since 03/20/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - DNSMasq - AdBlocking)
