New GT-AX11000 Pro on the way to replace GS-AX3000

[dwp]

I have had to sadly realize that my GS-AX3000 is simply at its limited for connected devices at about 30 wired and wifi. There is a point where it just cannot seem to keep up even though the majority of the devices really do not push all that much data. Add another 1 or 2 devices and connections that have previously been pretty rock solid start dropping and not coming back until a reboot. That sort of thing.

After consulting the Asus AI asking for a "wifi router for 50+ devices", I was pointed at the GT-AX11000 Pro. I have no idea how/if they will help anything but there is a large increase in the number of antennae. And I love that it is supported with Merlin, which I figure I will install first thing so I can get down and geeky even more than I am already. Mostly I am hoping that the other substantial hardware increases will give me some peace and quite on the LAN - at least for a while

Is there a simple way to move config data from the one router to the other and avoid needless data entry? I am specifically speaking about reserved IPs as mine are most voluminous but also other stuff.

My guess is that I might be able to dump the GS-AX3000 nvram and use that to set at least some of the nvram in the GT-AX11000 Pro. I seriously doubt I could do a wholesale import of the nvram data - especially since I am moving to AsusWRT to Merlin. But it would like to know of any other helpful tips/tricks for making this transition merciful and swift!

Thanks

There is no way to use a config file from one model to a different one. No safe way, that is. Take screen shots of the old one then bite the bullet and fumble finger the settings into the new router.
Oh, try the Asus firmware first. It should work just fine for you.
