Upgrade

Re: Upgrade
Official word, but I think it is still riskyWARNING 2: Do not attempt to preserve settings when upgrading from:
versions < 1.9.0 to 1.9.0+,
versions ≤ 1.6.2 to 1.7.0,
or versions ≤ 1.5.6 to 1.5.7+
Re: Upgrade
Preserving settings on firmware upgrade is not advised. It may brick your router or possibly lead to unexpected behaviors. It could work normally though, as reported by this user (also with a C7 v2), but keep in mind that's not always the case.
Also, note that he created and then restored a backup, did not tick "Preserve Settings" option, and came from a newer build (1.9.2).

Re: Upgrade
Okay, thanks. I did an upgrade without preserving settings and without uploading a backup after the upgrade.
I manually configured the router and so far everything's working!
