Problem after upgrade

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello,
I have an issue since upgrading OpenWrt from 22.03.1 to 23.05.2. The upgrade went through without errors, but it seems that my version has not changed in some files:

DISTRIB_ID='OpenWrt'
DISTRIB_RELEASE='22.03.1'
DISTRIB_REVISION='r19777-2853b6d652'
DISTRIB_TARGET='mediatek/mt7622'
DISTRIB_ARCH='aarch64_cortex-a53'
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION='OpenWrt 22.03.1 r19777-2853b6d652'
DISTRIB_TAINTS=''

After upgrading the packages, I no longer have access to Luci. Internet and SSH work correctly. Here is what happens when I try to install Luci:

root@OPENWRT:~# opkg install luci

OK, I performed a sysupgrade again, and I have access to Luci again, but I still have some irregularities:

Powered by LuCI openwrt-23.05 branch (git-23.306.39416-c86c256) / OpenWrt 23.05.2 (r23630-842932a63d)

when changing version it's often needed to factory default or upgrade with keeping setting
do can save the setting before and use from reference but time to start again

How can I upgrade and keep my network settings ?

I think this may be a device that changed from swconfig to DSA in the move from 22.x to 23.x, which means you can't keep the network config. Best to do an upgrade as an install and factory reset and then go from there.

Pretty sure someone else will confirm that.

I have multiple switches with VLANs, and it's problematic to reset the router and regain access afterward. I noticed that I can create a script using (uci-defaults) and a new kernel.

How can I create a script that configures WiFi to regain access and restores the configuration after upgrading the kernel?
