Archer C9 - Firmware update.

Hello.
I tried to perform a latest firmware update for my Archer C9 v2. I got the bin file from the website (yes, selected the model and version properly) and saw that the notes clearly indicated that:
- Updating would NOT erase the current configuration
- The new version would accept backups from previous firmwares.
OK, did a backup of my config either way and proceeded with the update.
Result:
- NO, settings are NOT preserved. Router when to factory settings.
- NO, restoring previous backups does NOTHING. Factory settings remain.
Solution: I had to downgrade to the previous version and restore the settings from the backup. Worked like a charm.
It's really frustrating to be fighting this kind of things that should go like a breeze.
Request: PLEASE make the updates truly safe to install and admitting settings from previous backups.
To the very least make it so when it's indicated in the Notes.
