(Not sure wether the tracker at dev.openwrt.org is still in use, so let me put a copy here)

Upgrading a router which runs a Tor node currently results in loss of its identity in the Tor network. This can be avoided easily by saving / backing up identity files. These files are

/var/lib/tor/fingerprint
/var/lib/tor/keys/*

The package conveniently makes sure already to save /etc/tor/torrc across updates, so it shouldn't be too complicated to add these other two.

For more details and an example, see
