Title: Fresh install of 26.1 with config restore from 25.7.11_9
Post by: jp0469 on January 29, 2026, 04:04:11 PM
Every year or so I like to do the major version upgrade by installing fresh and then restoring my latest config backup. Any major watchouts or gotchas that I should be aware of this time around? For reference, I have a pretty vanilla setup. Just a couple of VLANs and a site-to-site Wireguard instance. No IPv6. I already migrated to dnsmasq for DHCP and I'm using the Adguard Home plugin for DNS. No Unbound in use.

Nothing comes to mind.  Just make sure you have a config.xml downloaded somewhere so you are prepared.  :)


Cheers,

Oh yeah, if I forget that part, it's time to throw all the networking gear in a box and find a new hobby.
