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...
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.
