You first will need to reset the router back to factory defaults before the update on the older build.
NVRAM mappings have changed several times and will spawn gremlins if you don't.
Once you've upgraded you need to do another factory reset again to clear any mapping issues.
Then set up your settings from scratch. You cannot load old settings or they will point to old nvram mappings and spawn gremlins.
Three ways to factory reset.
1-Hold reset button ~10 seconds while router is on.
2-Reset from the admin tab in the gui
3-Telnet/SSH in to the CLI and issue: nvram erase && reboot _________________ FORUM RULES

I don't run anything on USB so I cannot comment.
The last really good build to run would be 44715, but may or may not fully work with what you want to accomplish with your usb.
Kong builds are too old now to keep recommending as there have been several significant patches to security made since 2019. It's always best to run the newest build to assure you don't have any things exposed. If that kind of stuff doesn't worry you, there are plenty of people on here that use builds from several years ago and don't worry... _________________ FORUM RULES

What is the output of lsmod on r37495M?
If the required kernel module(s) aren't in /lib/modules/$(KERNELVERSION), then it won't support it without some magic voodoo. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Hi
Cheers for the follow up my main reason to not keeping it up to date was having to re-enter settings every time.
But I think somebody stated versions after mine allowed to backup settings and reimport to new version, is that correct?
HI cheers for that, going through it now professionally written. As the author would you know if ver 44715 support usbip?
Also looking at the first bit of advice i am being told to do 2 factory resets! If this is correct do i have start with a first flash again then do 44715?
I am going from v3.0-r37495M kongat to the recommended 44715
Does this mean 4 flashes?

Either TFTP the .img or webflash / CLI flash the webflash.bin and be done with it. Reset to defaults and reconfigure from scratch if you run into any issues.
I guess i need to break out my R7800 and flash this one and check to see if it supports usbip, since everything I've said so far has been moot, including this post, most likely. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
