In my configuration of the i-gate when doing backup/restore it does not recover:

  • second wifi; only the first wifi will get restored (I did not try more then two wifi)
  • Longitude and latitude will be empty after restore
  • some other fields for example "TX" enabled. (I did not check all of them)

Thanks a lot,

Werner

Can you try the manual insert of the data ? Sometimes when new things are added , the restore process won't work with old restore JSON files that have less variables

It's not old data. Backup and restore was both today with same version of firmware.

I did check now the backup file config.json. It does contain second WiFi and longitude/latidude.

But restore does not take this data. At least in my case.

Could this be related to the WebUI config parsing issue that I reported in https://github.com/richonguzman/LoRa_APRS_iGate/issues/58#issuecomment-2126659847 ?

I did not load the latest firmware with vscode. Still have the problem when restore the backup that for example the 2nd wifi is missing. But could also be a refresh problem of the browser. Could be that just after the restore it does not display all the values in the browser. When clicking a bit around the 2nd wifi suddenly was displayed. But I did not check further...

because of lately mods to the code the full download from github (as full and last updates are there) is needed

or use the "old" 2024-04-13 firmware from web installer
