    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.33SF-HW & v. 9.2.5.1.34SF-HW

    I just wanted to report that everything is superb and no issues. Thanks Voxel! We live in funny times where someone is impressed that the product he bought actually works as advertised. On the other side of things, modern tech is mind boggling that we take for granted. I still remember Steve...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.19SF-HW

    The stock firmware does not allow you to split SSID, what am i missing?

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.19SF-HW

    I am not sure which channel you got but try 6 for 2.4Ghz and the highest on 5Ghz if it doesnt work try the lowest. Maybe you live near airport or military base and have radar interference. I am just guessing. You might have bad hardware btw not software. I am really starting to hate on...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.19SF-HW

    So speeds are low even on the stock firmware? Didnt you say you have 1Gb connection? if so then the speedtest on the admin panel should give you 1Gb not 500Mbps. Also, Wifi will output a max of 400-450Mbps in ideal conditions so an wall or distance will bring that down. Also your hardware might...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.19SF-HW

    manual configuration is a huge headache because every thing you change needs a 5 min reboot. I dont understand why routers are like that, why not just implement all changes on the next reboot

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.19SF-HW

    idk if I have mentioned this already but I think this is an Orbi issue, so even if you had stock firmware you would still see this kind of behavior. Maybe stock firmware users can add in their own experience to see how true is this

    Does Merlin improve on the performance of the stock firmware like Voxel or just unlocks options like SSH and spectrum splitting? Asus seem to have 1 firmware for all their routers which is a different approach from Netgear that seems to have custom firmware to each product line.

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.19SF-HW

    Whatever the equivalent of the Orbi is and that seems to be the one. I have thoughts that Asus might be a better performer than Netgear. I would love to hear from someone who has experience with both, but everyone seems to agree its a hit or miss. I am afraid I have false impressions about Asus...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.19SF-HW

    you saved me and I gof lucky I had the RBK50. After this upsetting firmware performance from Netgear, I am going for ASUS with merlin(hoping its as good as Voxel) or Ubiquiti if they ever make a dedicated backhaul

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.19SF-HW

    I didn't give the stock firmware a chance. After two weeks I had multiple disconnects and finicky behavior, it didnt help that many complain that the stock firmware is usually disappointing(not on my experience on previous routers including netgear). Is it placebo effect? I dont know but what I...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.19SF-HW

    I am not sure if I am looking for any further updates, its perfect as it is I don't know what could be improved:) its fast, stable, the signal is far reaching and everything works great!

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.18SF-HW & v. 9.2.5.2.18.1SF-HW

    I get this sometimes even with stock firmware. Solution was to reboot 1 of the following: 1-ISP device/router 2-Orbi 3-the client(laptop,phone,tablet)

    Is the grass greener on the ASUS side?

    Why did you buy Asus again if you were not happy with your prior Asus router?

    Is the grass greener on the ASUS side?

    What do you mean Ubiquiti wifi is not brilliant? What do you use at home? Overall, which router brand would you say is best for consumer/home use?

    @Voxel I dont know if this is a good idea but this domain: netgear-devrecog.fing.io is very talkative and won't shutup. I blocked it using PiHole and it sends thousands of requests. Wonder if you can disable it.

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.17SF-HW

    Can someone explain to me what is the SAMBA server? because if I don't use it I might as well disable it. I don't know what it is but I think it has to do with attaching a hard drive to the router to access files

    is it possible if you release a new update the firmware will tell us a new update is available like with stock firmware?

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.17SF-HW

    I am not sure what new features it adds as the firmware looks exactly like the stock firmware. The reason I updated because I was having disappointing experience with stock firmware and with Voxel I can describe it as "rock solid". Think of it like the stock firmware tweaked and optimized to its...
