GL-AX1800 Flint - Configuration lost

Routers
1

Hallo,
after being without power for a week, my Flint lost the configuration and was resetted to default.
Running firmware 4.6.8, after trying 4.7.0 which had wifi connection problems and instability.
Beside, I could not find an option to save the configuration on standard interface, but only on Luci.
Hopefully the Flint firmware will be updated to 4.8, no beta available now and 4.6.8 uses old OpenWrt.

Hi,

  1. May I know this Flint is carried out with you and may have passed the security check machine?
  2. Please try to reset the firmware (GL GUI > System > Reset Firmware) and observe it one more time.

The GL GUI does not have the export configuration function for the time being, please do that on Luci.

The Filnt v4.8.0 beta firmware coming soon, please wait.

Hi Bruce,

  1. yes, this Flint is installed in my home. I am not sure what do you mean by "passed the security check machine", could you clarify your question ?
  2. I'll observe the configuration retention in the following weeks and report any issue.

I guess the Luci export does not save some settings peculiar to GL gui, correct ?

Looking forward to 4.8.0

Hi,

  1. OK, installed in home is no problem.
  2. Will there be configuration loss after restart? Has the router ever downgraded from v4.7.0 to v4.6.8 with "keep settings"? If yes, please reset firmware to resolve this issue. Since the kernel of v4.7.0 and v4.6.8 are different, the v4.7.0 configuration is not compatible with v4.6.8.

The v4.8.0 of AX1800 will be released in June.
