New firmware = all settings lost

[olliecampbell]

Hello None of my devices were connecting to my wireless so I dug a bit deeper and realises that the router had upgraded itself to the latest firmware (R36). Is it normal that I should lose all my settings when this happens? Thanks

Does restoring from a backup work after a firmware change?

Urm. To do that would I have to have taken a backup first?

I didn't

If the save format for your settings is incompatible for it to load your settings in the new firmware...yes.

Thats strange. Mine upgraded but it kept everything. SSID, Port forwards, static IPs. Everything. You didnt press restore to default hoping to get back the old view did you
