DHCP reservations: easiest way to export (from one Asus router) and import (into another router) ?

[develox]

As per title: playing with the new AC86U I want to put in place of the AC5300, what's the quickest/easiest way to clone the (long) DHCP reservations list I have in the latter ?

Move dnsmasq.conf & Hosts from one router to another

I was using an Asus router (66-nt) (running an old shibby) and the power button died. I have it taped down for now, but want to setup a new router. I have a Netgear R7000 sitting here, and installed the latest freshtomato on it. I have close to 250 hosts in my dhcp table, and would like to...

Be sure to commit the changes after importing to the new firmware (I don't mention that for some reason in the other link).
