Is anyone working on a Voxel or Melin like enhancement of the Orbi Wi-Fi 6 routers?

I read a few times of people reporting on the Netgear forums of issues with IPv6 and recommendations to disable it. Is anyone here using it with their orbi and having no issues?

I currently use an external drive with my Orbi, but I’m thinking of moving the drive to another device. Is anyone using a USB flash drive (those thumb keys) to store settings and other data? I use the external storage for settings and Aegis. I’m wondering of any issues or limitations before I...

A modern, simple and fast web interface would be amazing! mobile first please

I saw “I could include a couple extra utilities” and thought you added something

How is your build different? What did you add?

What does the webgui upgrade bring?

I have never tried mounting remote drives, but to preserve files after a reboot you need to put them in the overlay directory. There is also a script that should be executed after reboot, so any commands you want such as mount should go there. Script name is in the QuickStart

Thank you. Feedback and real life stories are helpful

Thank you everyone for the helpful thoughts. @dosborne the ironwolf is what I was thinking about. I saw Synology lists the Exos among the supported devices. I’ll keep my eyes open. about the security issues, my plan is to keep the NAS within my lan and wasn’t planning for any port forwarded...

I currently have a USB drive attached to my Orbi that serves as file storage for movies and photos. I'm thinking of upgrading to a simple NAS with redundancy and better performance than the basic Orbi implementation. While I'm doing this for movies and photos I'd like to also use it for Time...

Router and satellite are connected via ethernet backhaul. According to the Orbi web interface ethernet is in use. I will follow up with the steps suggested by @HELLO_wORLD for more debugging

I'm not sure I get this. I am using the RBK50 with Voxel as server and RBS50 with Voxel as client. They are connected with an Ethernet wire that I assume is cat 6, but I will be checking. What would you suggest the baseline to be?

There is a thread about the performance of Orbis over ethernet that raised a question in my mind: how fast is my ethernet connection between the router and my two satellites? In particular one of them is connected via ethernet, so I expected speeds close to 1Gb. I tried a couple of times using...

You have a V2. Sadly Netgear removed the port. can you expand what you would like improve on 5Ghz?

Does the RBK have Alexa? Is there software running at all times?

I missed this post, lots of good stuff. At least from my perspective at least 2 2.5Gb ports on the router would make sense for wired backhaul and then you add one on each satellite. The advantage is that the satellites have more bandwidth for the devices that connect with faster WiFi. I’m sure...

Thanks @Voxel this is super easy. If I make the change does it take into effect immediately or do I need to restart?
