Upgrade

[JV78]

I have an Archer C7 v2 router with Gargoyle 1.91. Is it safe to upgrade to 1.10 while preserving the settings?

WARNING 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+

Official word, but I think it is still risky

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).

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!
