    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

    In .17 the congestion control was changed. Since upgrading to .17 our network seems slightly spotty meaning every now and then we lose some packets, but within a few minutes it’s back to normal. Works well most days, but sometimes annoying when streaming Dan’s it buffers. Is there a simple way...

    HW for a mesh of three

    Not an Asus customer, but considering it, if I can get mesh and rtmerlin. If I was to buy these two routers and use one as "satellite", what manages the mesh? I thought rtmerlin doesn't provide it. Is it in the Asus firmware portion or are you just suggesting that I setup both with the same...

    Bandwidth monitoring on Orbi

    When you say network interface do you mean Orbi interface? Most of my devices are WiFi so traffic will be heavily aggregated. Do you at least get a breakdown between devices connected to the router and ones connected to either satellite?

    I’m sure you can do it with iptables. I suggest you look at Aegis which makes it super easy to block unwanted traffic both ways. http://www.snbforums.com/threads/aegis-1-7-x.70761/

    Tried the RBKE963?

    Has anyone tried out the RBKE963? Are they running the same old WRT and unreliable APIs as the stock Orbi? What I’m most excited is the higher speed and broader (longer) reach, but I’m also nervous to going back to stock firmware and be bogged down by poorly implemented services such as Armor...

    Bandwidth monitoring on Orbi

    No one is using it as far as I know. I also contacted the maintainer back in the day but they didn’t answer

    Voxel How do I set Orbi RBK50 to assign PiHole IP as DNS Server on all DHCP clients?

    If you are using Voxel you should save your configuration file on the external drive and then it restores it after reboot

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.13SF-HW

    So many factors play into a steady connectivity. I read the thread, I think the user will hardly find a satisfactory solution that is not buying a higher speed or changing provider. He clearly says the connectivity is normally stable and reliable , so that’s a good sign he has a decent provider

    USB storage on Orbi satellite

    I have the external storage connected to the router right now. I have a tv that the kids use to watch movies that connects via WiFi to a satellite and the satellite uses the wireless backhaul to connect to the router. While streaming like Netflix and Amazon usually work fine, I sometimes I have...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.1.13.1SF-HW

    I have been waiting for usage reporting for a while. I tried a couple of tools from Entware, but didn’t provide what I was looking for. See http://www.snbforums.com/threads/bandwidth-monitoring-on-orbi.63561/page-2 Some suggested Kamoj, but it’s not easily portable to Orbi.

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.13SF-HW

    @CrimpOn mentioned it so I was hoping he had a link handy. I’m just curious, TBH I’m not going back to stock firmware for many reasons including ssh access
