Upgrading StarOS v2 to StarV3

  1. Read the StarV3 Differences article to determine if all the features you require from StarOS v2 are still supported under StarV3 before deciding to upgrade to StarV3.
  2. From any StarOS v2 build, upgrade to the appropriate StarOS v2 cross-over release. You can find these at ftp://tog.net/staros/. If you are using the StarOS v2 Server Edition you will have to use to the "strr" router edition as StarV3 currently has no comparable server edition.
  3. Reboot to boot the new StarOS v2 cross-over build.
  4. Disable any WEP/WPA you are using on any of your wireless interfaces, activate changes.
  5. Install the StarV3 license you got from license-keys.com.
  6. Upload an appropriate StarV3 release for your platform using Starutil, then use system --> upgrade firmware to perform the firmware upgrade.
  7. Use "file" --> "reboot machine" and choose yes to save settings, then be patient and give it a couple minutes to boot back up. It will be generating a new ssh key.
  8. Login to your newly-updated StarV3 system and re-enable any WEP, ACL (and soon WPA) you wanted to use.
