An upgrade from OpenWrt 15.05 or LEDE 17.01 to OpenWrt 18.06 is supported with the help of sysupgarde and will preserve the configuration.

 +With the release of OpenWrt 18.06, the old OpenWrt 15.05 release is marked end of life and will not get any support any more, not even for severe security problems. LEDE 17.01 will still get some security support for a limited time. We encourage everyone to upgrade to OpenWrt 18.06 to get the best support.
  
 As always, a big thank you goes to all our active package maintainers, testers, documenters, and supporters. As always, a big thank you goes to all our active package maintainers, testers, documenters, and supporters.
