    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.19SF-HW

    is there anyway to force a device to the router? my PC always connects to the satellite, even though it's halfway across the house and the router is just across the room even if when i ssh into both the router and the satellite, and turn the satellite's tx power down, eventually my PC will...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.19SF-HW

    thanks, is there a way to increase the timeout length if i'm logged into the device page? example: http://192.168.1.1/DEV_show_device.htm after about 1min it asks me to log back in

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.17SF-HW

    i think the Orbi app requires a NetGear account, which is different from the credentials used to login via browser (192.168.1.1) at least that's how i use the Orbi app also, you may need to disable 2.4ghz or force 5ghz on w/e devices you want to use 5ghz that's what i had to do for devices...

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

    do i need to do something special to scp a file onto the router? it looks like the scp command is available on both the router and my local machine, but i get: bash: scp: not found lost connection

    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

    does anyone else explicitly set the txpower of their router/sat via telnet? i usually customize these values to prevent my router from hogging the devices that are literally right next to the sat, but i can't set txpower on any of the 5ghz bands anymore i usually set 5ghz txpower with...

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.12SF-HW

    my satellite behaves the same way. the name is "Unknown" so i usually just identify them by the internal IP address, which i have set statically for most of my devices

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.12SF-HW

    it's my understanding that you should update the satellite's first and then the router

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.11SF-HW

    i think the issue might be that i literally turned my RBR/RBS off and then on, rather than initiating a reboot command through telnet? i'll try when i get home thanks

    Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.11SF-HW

    @Voxel i tried to separate my SSIDs via: nvram set wla_ssid="NAME OF YOUR 5GHZ NETWORK" nvram set allow_diff_ssid=1 nvram commit when i reboot my router, the settings are erased. does this method still work? if not, is it still possible to separate SSIDs? thanks

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.65SF

    2 things i changed that helped me: 1.) i disabled HT160. it caused my connection to drop when downloading with internet download manager. no idea why that was the only program that caused problems with HT160 2.) i changed MTU size from 1500 to 1472. I went from one or two 20 second disconnects...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.64SF

    yea, i have issues with ht160 too. it's stable until i try to download anything (i realize everything you do on the internet is downloading, but i'm talking about downloading at high speeds), then the wifi signal dies

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.63SF

    haven't had any issues since disabling so i guess that was my issue. guess i'll just leave this here in case anyone is googling in the future and runs into issues with their 5ghz radio going down during downloads while ht160 is enabled

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.63SF

    i don't know anything about wireless technology, but i forgot that i enabled HT160 a few weeks back. could this cause connection drops? i don't remember having them before enabling it and from what speed tests reveal there's no performance loss when it's disabled why is it disabled by default?

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.63SF

    hmm, would interference cause the connection to drop tho? the only reason I'm questioning that is because I use the exact same channel i used with my old router and the old router never dropped connections also weird how it only does it when downloading. that sounds like it's straining to do...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.63SF

    alright well i'm definitely still getting drop issues when downloading not every single time, but only happens when downloading. every device connected to the 5ghz band drops any suggestions? hoping it's not a HW issue, but i didn't pay full price so w/e
