Router Swap, Can I use config

a week ago

Model: Archer BE800

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

I currently have an Archer AX55 as my main router and recently purchased a BE800 (BE19000). Can I copy my AX55 config to file and then download it to BE800 as I don't want to have to completely reconfigure the new main router (VPN, stat routes, DMZ, etc.). Once BE800 is main router, I will then wipe the AX55 and make it an meshed AP slaved to the BE800. Any help is greatly appreciated.

@GrandNaegus No, every router is different, so one config won't work with another. Best to setup a new router from scratch, will make for less headaches down the road.

As noted before, can't do it. Back-up might even be signed indicating router/Deco model and wouldn't even load? What I do, grab screen captures of each setting I've changed, and then install the new router, and look at those captures and make the changes to the new units settings.
