Keeping the configuration after an upgrade ?

[analogue]

Hi,

Is there a way to make the gargoyle router keep its configuration after an upgrade ?

Thanks =)

Hi there,

I believe there is no way for the router to "keep" its configuration after an upgrade however you can create a back up .tar file under System and Backup / Restore.

Once the upgrade has been completed you can browse to that file with the "Restore Configuration Now" feature.

Works really well....hope this information helps!!

Yeah that's what I do, but it's not perfect as our LAN is not in the same subnet as the default one

How the proprietary router firmware do to keep their configuration ?

Hi,

Yeah I had the same issue....I just changed my internal LAN to 192.168.1.x (which was pretty easy) and from then upgrades to my router are a breeze.

Not sure how commercial router \ firmware hold there values, could be a question for Eric...

I have this issue too as my network is 192.168.10.xxx

The solution I have found is to have a command window open on my PC while doing upgrades, and use the following commands...

Code: Select all

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

This will temporarily give you access on the default network (192.168.1.xxx) after loading new firmware. Restore from your backup then repeat the commands.
