Model: Archer A7  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.1.2

I upgraded the firmware on my router.  First time I have done this since I've owned the router.  After the upgrade was complete everything reset to the router defaults and I had to set up everything all over again on the router and reconnect all of my devices.  I also had to reboot my Verizon Fios Ont box in order to get connected to the internet.  Is there something that I did wrong during the upgrade installation?  I'd like to know if there is a way to avoid these issues that I had the next time I have to upgrade the firmware.  Thank you.

It looks like I have answered my own question so if this helps someone else it seems that firmware upgrades on TP Link routers wipes out the settings.  I wish I knew that before.
