    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.9SF-HW

    This was just released: https://kb.netgear.com/000062507/Security-Advisory-for-Unauthenticated-Command-Injection-Vulnerability-on-Some-Extenders-and-Orbi-WiFi-Systems-PSV-2020-0301| This appears to be patched in 2.6.1.40, but current Voxel is based on .2.5.2 Would this be a good opportunity...

    Orbi RBR50 High CPU Usage

    You indicate that you are running your router in AP mode, that should mostly eliminate Orbi from the cause of the bloat. How are you determining that buffer bloat is your issue specifically? Are you gaming over wifi or via ethernet cable? Are you connected to the satellite or the router?

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.9SF-HW

    I'm running V9.2.5.2.9SF-HW and speeds have been fairly consistent with what I'm used to. I've not seen any slowness or disconnects. I have a wired backhaul with all default settings.

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.9SF-HW

    I'd suggest manually downgrading to the stock 2.5, factory resetting. Ensure you don't enable Armor, Disney Circle or Parental Controls, etc. Keep all defaults. Keep the same SSID and password and your clients won't know the difference. Then update back to the latest Voxel. That should...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.9SF-HW

    If you are either already on Voxel or running 2.5 or lower of stock, then just the 1 step of manually updating your satellites (one at a time) and then the router. Only other point of reference is DO NOT try to factory reset when on Voxel or you'll soft brick your device and need to TFTP...

    For what it is worth, I c What is the real world problem you are trying to solve? Are you seeing buffering on your clients when streaming? Are you seeing slowdown or stalls on file transfers? I suspect you may be chasing a ghost in terms of that metric. What do you see on a wired client...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.6SF-HW

    1) Which Orbi router / satellite do you have? 2) Have you already performed a factory reset to see if that corrects the issue?

    What were you upgrading from? Stock 2.7+? Existing Voxel installation? You can not TFTP Voxel, you can only TFTP stock. You can not upgrade to Voxel from the most recent official release (ie. 2.7+) you must downgrade to 2.5 before updating to Voxel. It is in the read me quick start.

    In my reply I meant that difficulties with port forwarding is not unique to Orbi when using Plex, the forum indicates it happens across a variety of routers. Happy to hear you got it resolved.
