    I am using it for years like many other folks here. Most stable firmware for R7800. Only time I reboot router is after firmware update. Give it a try and you will feel the difference.

    R7800 looking to integrate pihole for DNS

    UI does not have any option to change lan-dns. Internet Setup > DNS is wan-dns, it is not same as lan-dns. Even though you changed it, your lan-dns still remains your router IP. That is why you are seeing router IP in your pihole logs. You can even validate this by checking DNS server from any...

    nand for r7800

    MT29F1G08ABBEAH4:E is obsolete by Micron. Few years back authentic one from here: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/micron-technology-inc/MT29F1G08ABBEAH4-E/4315691 With some due diligence you may be able to find a compatible one on below sites (All of them sell only authentic parts...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.97SF

    Multiple ways: 1 - cat /firmware_version 2 - Do "ls -l" at the root directory (top most). Most of the files and folder will have "Sep 30" timestamp for firmware version "V1.0.2.97.2SF" (ignore /tmp timestamp and folders with Dec 31 1969 timestamp). For V1.0.2.97.1SF timestamp is "Sep 11" ...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.97SF

    Beacon interval is not the way to achieve this. I mentioned the file in my previous post which sets beacon interval, if you really want you can do some testing. Beacon interval is used to maintain a stable connection between devices and router. Router constantly sends a frame/beacon at the...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.97SF

    It won't survive reboot. This file is regenerated at every reboot. For beacon interval it uses hard coded values from /sbin/update-wifi. /sbin/update-wifi file's function generate_bintval() sets beacon intervals for 2.4 (wlg) & 5 (wla) GHz. Tip: Not a good idea to change beacon interval for...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.97SF

    Thanks for the correction. I looked at the post-mount.sh script that I use. I added those checks in that script to only copy files to the router if they do not exist or different, there are many ways for doing this. This is the one I use: # Copy Router SSH Key if [[ -f...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.97SF

    If you prepared the usb stick as per instructions mentioned in voxel's readme using setssh.tar. You can automate this process by keeping the usb stick plugged into the router. It will copy files/keys on next firmware upgrade automatically. post-mount.sh script in setsssh.tar copies files/keys...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.96SF

    Yes under NTP settings. But issue was with DST & traffic meter both, the traffic meter stats used to show 0 if DST was enabled. I think it was fixed.

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.96SF

    Daylight Saving Time There was a known bug in Netgear fw long time back. With DST enabled the Traffic Meter stats used to show 0. I use DST and have it enabled all the time, never used Traffic Meter though (always kept it disabled).

    Running below cmds once after firmware update will disable traffic meter till next firmware update. It will not start after reboot. ## |TrafficMeter| - [Disable] nvram set endis_traffic=0 nvram commit # Stop & Disable > TrafficMeter Process [ -x /sbin/traffic_meter ] && {...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.96SF

    Corrupted nand can be identified if router is resetting to factory default settings after reboot. You can verify that from the router admin UI, SSID name (if you are using a different one than default) and few more ways. My guess is your issue seems like related to unable to get WAN IP. I have...

    Updating to Voxel but bricked Orbi RBR50

    The instructions I mentioned above are taking your router into TFTP mode. You have to keep it pressed and power on. If you are sure it is bricked, then may be worth giving it a shot.

    Updating to Voxel but bricked Orbi RBR50

    Based on my personal experience with R7800 router. Netgear TFTP instructions lack one key step. Btw Netgear TFTP instructions are same for most routers. I mentioned the missing step in bold below. This worked for me you can give it a try. ... Power off the router. Wait few seconds. Hold down...

    Voxel firmware and wifi strength

    You have nothing to lose. You can try voxel fw and go back to ddwrt if it does not meet your requirement of signal strength. Boosting signal strength than the optimal range may also increase signal to noise ratio. 2.4 GHz band has more coverage, smart lights can be connected to 2.4 band only...
