Rebooting Linksys WRT3200ACM leads to the router reverting to 'default' settings

When you sysupgrade, the current settings of the currently running OpenWrt firmware are copied to the other partition along the flashed firmware. And boot is switched to that one. Then after sysupgrade you would have the same current settings on both thew newly flashed new active partition, and also on the old "from" partition which then serves as the fallback (and will be the target of the next sysupgrade.

Thanks @hnyman, this has worked. I initially thought it had failed as I couldn't connect to my router front end via the IP address, but realized I'd installed a snapshot, which needs Luci installing manually via SSH.

All seems stable, and I should be able to reboot without any issues now.
