XR1000 settings get wiped on factory reset

Hey, I just want you to know that if you factory reset your router and you saved that config file, your settings won't save if you choose to restore the settings, i had to reconfigure my whole SSID & Password, i thought that if you save your whole save config file, it will go back to the settings you had for the Wireless settings!

If you had WiFi Settings configured prior to the back up configuration file being generated and saved to file, restoring should bring those back after a factory reset and restore operation.

I had my settings back up before I saved the file, I had to reconfigure my Wi-Fi settings after I factory reset!

So after you reset and applied the backup config from file, the custom wifi settings were not re-applied?
