I upgraded without major problems, a remote site with ER707-M2 with fixed ip lost the connection, the internet settings changed from fixed ip to dynamic ip since there is no dhcp server for WAN the whole network went down.
this is how it looked after the upgrade.
The other routers on the controller have dynamic IP so I had no problems with them.
Note: i use Windows controller.
Hi, how can I restore the data? I can't find this,
and how do I manually back up data? there is no option for that.
Do you have any information on how I can restore DATA as shown in the picture?
the controller now does not backup everything in the same file as before but creates a zip file with this data. I can't find a way to import this data into the new controller
can you help me with it?
