Re: [Info] Flush out the NVRAM Before you Re-Flash Your Router U
Hey mind sharing some more info on this. I am curious to know why and when this should be done as opposed to just flashing the new firmware.
thx |

| IMHO, should be done before and after flashing of new firmware. Or even just setting it up. It's just a way to make sure no settings get corrupted. I will have to say that if you do this, do NOT restore stuff up from a backup, unless you are backing settings up onto the same firmware version. If not, set it up from scratch. |

1 edit | Actually you should all put the wireless router, cable modem, switches, wireless access points, print servers on timers to shutdown at night where your sleeping. This way it can cool off thus save energy too. My cable modem works very hard I also reset that one flush out the NVRAM once every 6 months. After that it performs faster.
I control everything with one power surge strip, I should put everything on a timer. Flush out all the switches too. Say like 4am to 9am (5 hrs) shutdown.
Again the above is good when you have flashed the router so many times with different firmware. I just do this to make sure all the crap in NVRAM is gone. I didn't do it last time could explain why the N wasn't working. I'll do it with 1.31 firmware. It's a lot of work to bring down the network. |
