I bet the correct answer is to just unplug the old router and plug in the new one. Problem solved!

Option B is tempting, but what if I accidentally delete something important? Better safe than sorry, I say. Or is that a firewall rule? Hmm, this is trickier than I thought.

Option D sounds like a lot of work, but at least I'd be sure I'm only transferring the firewall filter. Wait, does that mean I have to read the whole global config? Ugh, pass.

I think I'll go with option C - create a backup, edit the file, and then restore it on the new router. Seems like the easiest way.

Yeah, it does seem like a hassle to go through the whole global config just to get the firewall rules.

I like the idea of Option C - that way I can review the backup file and make sure everything looks good before restoring it. Who knows what other goodies might be in that global config, right?

Option A seems the most straightforward, but I wonder if it might miss any related settings that could impact the firewall filter. Hmm, decisions, decisions.
