migrating from asus ac68u to 88u

[chrisloup]

is there a simple way? can i restore the saved config from ac68u to 88u if both are tunning latest merlin firmware?

my custom changes are dhcp reservations , port forwarding , openvpn client with custom policy routing (like more than 50lines) so its gonna be annoying doing it manually

No.

But you can try the NVRAM Save/Restore utility by john9527 on these forums, but I would recommend a manual install myself.

Hint: You can use the above utility to record in human readable form all the settings you've made to your old router so you can copy/paste into your new one.

thanks. the nvram save/restore utility did the job. i ran it in migration mode.

the only thing it didn't copy was the ca cert for the vpn client.

rest was normal/expected (changing ssid name after the migration)

Just as an FYI.....on the newer codes the certs are saved in /jffs and not in nvram. So to restore those you need to do a jffs-restore as well. (I'll add a note to that effect in the next release docs).
