Restore Config Between Hardware

Interested in drawing comments on restoring saved config settings on different hardware running gargoyle.

Specifically:

WRT54G v3.1 running gargoyle 1.4.6

to

TL -WR1043ND v1.8 running gargoyle 1.4.7

Confident that the different chipsets will not matter, but the other variation's like USB support I am not so sure about.

Plan on making manual documentation of settings, upgrading WRT45G to 1.4.7 then giving it a try.
Upgrading hardware to better handle bandwidth and QOS.


I will supply the results of the restore.

I wouldn't be so confident myself. Case in point, /etc/config/wireless should be different for broadcom and atheros chipsets.

Not advisable at all.

Backup configs are per router.

You should not mix/match restoring configs to different routers.

Especially restoring a Wireless-G config to a Wireless-N router.

Re-configure from start is your best option.
