    Release New official R7800 firmware

    Interesting. They sure don't make it easy to figure out what specific security issues were addressed. The release notes just point here: https://www.netgear.com/about/security/ Which seems to be a long list of security updates for all products. There is no option to filter by product that I...

    Internet speed testing with Netgear routers

    Cool, thanks for pointing that out! That also seems to run the test directly on the router, and gives similar results to the Nighthawk app.

    Internet speed testing with Netgear routers

    I'm sure this is old news to many of the folks around here, but I have found that the Netgear Nightawk phone app is useful for testing the speed of my internet connection. If you have a fast internet connection, then speed tests that are run from wifi-connected devices may not show the full...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.109SF

    Thanks Voxel, your continued work is greatly appreciated! I am running 109SF successfully, but this update didn't go as smoothly as usual for me. In the past I have been able to update firmware without doing anything else, but not this time. I use my R7800 in router mode with a fairly simple...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.106SF

    Hi Voxel. Thank you for your continued support of the R7800, it is greatly appreciated! Brief success story: I had moved, and out of sheer laziness was using an ISP-supplied modem/router combo unit for a while. It generally gave good wifi speeds, but was less reliable and had less range than...

    [R7800] settings/disable/optimization documentation consolidation

    My understanding is this: NVRAM settings persist through reboots and firmware upgrades. There is no need to redo them when the router is rebooted or updated. The other optimization commands discussed in this thread need to be reapplied after a firmware upgrade, but not after a reboot.

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.90SF

    @Voxel Have you considered disabling the amazon service in your firmware?

    [R7800] settings/disable/optimization documentation consolidation

    It seems unnecessary, and even potentially harmful, to update the nvram settings at every bootup. The nvram settings survive through reboots and firmware updates, so I think they only need to redone after a factory reset.

    Voxel Adding bandwidth monitoring to Voxel R7800

    I can also recommend the Arris SB8200. I recently upgraded from a 8x4 DOCSIS 3.0 modem to the SB8200 which is 32x8 DOCSIS 3.1. I have a 150Mbps service plan which doesn't need DOCSIS 3.1, but have still seen some performance improvement. I think my bufferbloat scores improved also. I just ran...
