    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.27SF-HW & v. 9.2.5.2.27.1SF-HW

    Well, it's not continuing... simply uploading the prior release stopped the reboots.

    Thank you for your continued efforts through all of the adversity. Sadly, I ended up with a reboot loop on my router with this release... Reverting to .26 resolved the issue.

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

    Minor update... The same thing started happening again until I left the converted 'router to station' turned off. When it is on, the stations blink in and out. I changed the model/type, then flashed the sat voxel firmware... is there possibly a step I missed? --- Also, the router seems to be...

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

    Once I got the other 2 sats updated to &.17... things seem to have stabilized. Max

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

    I managed to reflash the other router as a Satellite, so I now have 4 Sats (3 level home that still had some coverage issues). I am noticing some odd behavior, I'm unsure what the cause is and there have been power/Internet issues due to storms in the area. I have not had time to update to of...

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

    I'll try again with your release directly. I tried a couple of times, but it seemed to just softbrick. If not, I'll have to try it late one night when no one is demanding the Internet be up :) Thank you for your continued efforts, Max

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

    I meant if it can be tftp flashed successfully over a device with 2.7.x instead of 2.5.x. Thank you, Max

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

    This seems like a very basic issue... I'm struggling to install this because the Orbi keeps forcibly updating the firmware. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that even with a TFTP upload that the Orbi has to be on 2.5.x firmware for the update to succeed. Even when I use TFTP to install the...

    Voxel Very inconsistent network performance with Orbi RBR50

    Well, these results have been consistent... I tried a dozen or so different services and it seems random (even based on traceroute/tracepath) which are fast and which are slow... but they are REPEATABLY fast or slow for the same server. This doesn't just affect 'speed tests', of course, it hits...

    Voxel Very inconsistent network performance with Orbi RBR50

    I switched back to (the latest) Voxel release for RBR50 and these network issues confound me! I switched to the neatgear release because my family was tired of dealing with my experimentation. It does not have these issues. Some sites work at excellent speed and others are ridiculously slow...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.8SF-HW

    Voxel, Good point on circle, etc... I don't think I explicitly disable them. I can do that as part of my test plan. I noticed it uses yeah and I switched to cubic without any significant difference. I had not tried the dlsreports speed test! I usually use fast.com, ooklah and the xfinity one...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.8SF-HW

    That's fair... So, I have 4 kids in virtual schooling and I work from home. We usually have at least 2-3 devices streaming video and/or music at any one time as well. When there's a severe network issue, the zoom calls (rarely the vpn) usually drop out. This is a mix of directly wired, fully...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.8SF-HW

    In terms of going back... I had a 250Mps service and everything was 'fine' for quite a while. I upgraded to 1Gbps service and, initially, with an older voxel release. Everything looked ok, but soon the speed degraded. The issue was with the service, because I tested it directly at the cable...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.8SF-HW

    Voxel, I completely understand where you're coming from... However, I the difference in throughput via the router is consistent and testable. I did a factory reset with the 2.5.x stock... so it was a very clean installation of your release. I have no clue what is causing it... yet... and don't...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.8SF-HW

    I had asked Voxel that previously... He indicated that it is something related to Parental Control due to license limitations. Since I don't use parental controls... Perhaps I should test 2.6.x and see if it works the same way. The main difference is that a number of different kernel modules...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.8SF-HW

    For some reason the 2.7.x releases have much better network performance than the 2.5.2.x releases. A bit more information on the issue... I could not get the voxel release to budge beyond 400Mps to the router via iperf and ~200Mbps (out of 1g!) on a speed test over the Internet. I went through...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.8SF-HW

    Thank you, I appreciate you chiming in... I had just done a stock, reset and reflash before reporting this issue. It didn't appear to happen with the stock firmware, but I rely on some of the expanded capabilities that your release offers. I've checked the cables and it also works at full speed...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.8SF-HW

    I'm still struggling with this issue, I'm just not certain where on the network stack to look... It affects TCP only, not UDP It affects both IPv4 and IPv6 If affects both Linux & Windows clients It definitely affects Ethernet connected clients, but appears to affect WiFi as well (that is more...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.8SF-HW

    This is definitely a TCP issue, not an ethernet issue. I tested using UDP rather than TCP and get a very consistent 1.05 Mbits/sec... which is pretty much perfect. My current setup has my windows PC hooked directly to the router, my Linux server hooked via a 1G switch that is connected to the...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.8SF-HW

    Here you go... I don't think the ifb 'devices' are actually being used. The built in switch appears to have QOS support too, maybe I need to disable that 1st. qdisc hyfi_pfifo_fast 0: dev ifb0 root refcnt 2 [Unknown qdisc, optlen=20] Sent 0 bytes 0 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)...
