Installed new firmware on a EAP225 that I inherited in our home we just moved in to which had firmware from 2019. I had a backup of the previous setup before doing this but wasn't expecting it to factory reset. I didn't see a note about that on the firmware download page or in the release notes (I later found a general FAQ on firmware with a mention that it might do that:)

I needed to get this up quickly so I went through a quick setup and named the SSID to the same name and credentials... (no other changes).  Is there some way to view the contents of a config.big backup file to see what the settings were previously vs just restoring the setup (assuming the old firmware config files are compatible with latest firmware which worries me a bit).  I believe it was a pretty standard and simple setup however I did see this in the system log...

"The LAN IP address/mask of [ap:74-DA-88-6f...] were changed to 192.168.0.179/255.255.255.0"

In Management/Network that Dynamic IP is set and Fallback IP is now set (nothing for Fallback Gateway) which I assume is the default.  Unfortunately I don't know if the EAP was set for Static or Dynamic and what the fallback IP, Mask, and if a Fallback Gateway was setup.

Any advice before I attempt to restore the backup?

Thanks

PS If it's helpful I'm running a Luxul Epic-5 Gigabit Router and a Araknis AN-210-SW-R-24-POE 24-Port POE Switch.
