Upgrade Unifi USG-3p to Dream Router VPN question

[Velvis]

I am looking to replace an older USG & Cloud Key with a new Dream Router for a small network. Off the top of my head I think the only settings I need moved over are the wifi network settings (main network and guest network) and a VPN.

What is the proper way to do it?

Best to have both at latest version of Unifi...
Backup Cloud Key ...settings only should suffice and be more reliable...
When Dream Router asks to import any settings (the initial setup wizard assumes you're upgrading from legacy)...import it.

And at the end of the day, unless its a really...really large network with many Unifi devices and lots of complex settings...just factory resetting the inside Unifi devices, adopting clean, and then rebuilding your settings from scratch is what...10 minutes? 15 if you're really really slow at it?

I agree. Your best bet is probably just set it up from scratch. An older USG and CloudKey are not going to be anywhere near the same versions as a newer DreamRouter would have. All you really need is the Wi-Fi, SSID, and password, and the VPN settings. And I think VPN options have evolved since the original CloudKey that you're dealing with.

So probably a lot simpler just to set it up clean.
