Upgrading to BE88u

[revelstone777]

Hi, I'm upgrading from an AX88u to a BE88u and was wondering/hoping that there was a way to get a textual config dump from my AX88u to aid in programming the BE88u. That would make it a lot easier to migrate.
Thanks

What particular settings are you interested in? The BE88U runs the 3.0.0.6.102 firmware which has some significant differences compared to the AX88U's 3.0.0.4.388 firmware.

You can dump most of the contents of NVRAM with the nvram show command. There is more stuff stored in the /jffs filesystem.

I guess at least initially I'm most concerned to get all the dhcp reservations and I have a bunch of ports set to be blocked from the internet (mostly cameras). I can handle the nvram show command, but how would I look at the /jffs filesystem?
thanks much!

For DHCP reservations search the forums for existing posts regrading nvram get dhcp_staticlist and nvram get custom_clientlist.

How are you blocking ports, using Firewall - Network Services Filter? If so have a look at nvram get filter_lwlist.

If you're using Merlin's firmware you can backup the /jffs filesystem from the Administration - Restore/Save/Upload Setting page and then examine its contents with something like 7-Zip.

NB All three of those NVRAM variables should also be present in the /jffs/nvram directory. So a quick and dirty method could be to simply copy those three files onto your new router and then power it off and on.
