I'd like to ask whether the following procedure would be likely to work for upgrading the firmware:-
- Back up all the files/folders under jffs.
- Unmount and remove the USB flash drive containing any scripts.
- Flash the new firmware.
- Restore factory defaults.
- Reboot the router (from the GUI and/or the switch on the router).
- Set up the basic configuration as per the startup wizard.
- Enable jffs custom scripts and configs.
- Enable format jffs at next reboot.
- Enable SSH and change the default port (for better security).
- Reboot the router.
- Restore the jffs from the backup made earlier.
- Re-insert the USB flash drive.
- Reboot the router.
- Continue setting up anything that hasn't been fully restored (VPN server?).
