    Voxel Custom firmware build for Orbi RBK50/RBK53 (RBR50, RBS50) v. 9.2.5.2.6SF-HW

    As noted above by Voxel, I had Voxel 9.2.5.2.5.2 installed already. I upgraded to Voxel 9.2.5.2.6 directly without issue.

    Voxel Voxel's firmware for Orbi RBK50 system

    I have read that folks have had problems going from Netgear 2.7.0.70 to Voxel 9.2.5.2.5.2 Folks have had to install stock 2.5.2.4 first and then install Voxel. 2.7 was a complete disaster for me. Could not get it to be stable. Before I installed Voxel, I downgraded to Netgear 2.5.2.4 first...

    I did revert to stock 2.5.2.4 first ... I then went to 9.2.5.2.5.2.

    I was on Voxel 9.2.5.2.5.2.. I did revert to stock 2.5.x before going to stock 2.7. Anyway ... life is good on 9.2.5.2.5.2.

    Well, I actually tried 2.7.0.70 ... it was a disaster. I could never get it to see my wired Orbi satellite. This was via the "unofficial" download links a few weeks back. When the "official" download links were made, I download and tried again. This time it worked. Wahoo! A few days go by. My...

    It "sounds" like the new enhanced parental controls in 2.7.0.70 Netgear stock "may" offer something like that. From what I have read it suggests that you can have control device by device. How much control I genuinely have no idea. Considering I have my own UTM (Untangle on a MiniPC), I just use...

    There was something wrong with 9.2.5.2.5.1 ... at least for me. My Apple Watch is my gauge. I can always tell when something is up with my WiFi when my Apple Watch loses like 25% battery per hour. My watch typically lasts 2 days easy. I put 9.2.5.1.19 back on ... my watch has settled down and...

    There is a .1 release 9.2.5.2.5.1. Make sure you grab that "1".

    As per Netgear forums ... 2.7.0.70 was for users who did not use Circle. They were upgraded to the next version of Circle. Probably in hopes to entice folks to the latest greatest features. Those that use Circle were upgraded to 2.5.2.4. I imagine to not wipe out their existing settings and...

    Ugh, that is discouraging. What version were you on prior to the attempt to go to 2.7.0.70?

    Folks on the Netgear forums are not liking 2.7.0.70 for performance reasons. Of course YMMV. For me, I am going to camp out on 9.2.5.2.5 for a bit. It has been running well for me thus far.

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

    2.5.2.4 and 2.7.0.70 do not have release notes that I have seen. Netgear claims they don't know about them; however, folks are getting them pushed to them and/or showing up as upgrade options via the iOS app. 2.7.0.70 appears to release new parental controls; hence why there are so many changes.

    With 9.2.5.2.5, first day of school yesterday, my wife and I work at home, 3 kids essentially streaming their classes all day ... no one complained a peep. I will add my upgrade process is to the effect: 1. Upgrade Satellite 1. 2. Leave Satellite 1 alone for a good 10 minutes. 3. Turn off and...

    I had one hiccup with while on .19, but I am fairly convinced that was my network and/or ISP as my internal cameras worked, but external in I was also playing with the network adapter settings on my laptop. I have set it to "favor 5Ghz". I have a feeling prior it might have been flipping...

    Well, I pulled 2.5.2.4 off. I was having some online work meetings and it was terrible. Now, I have had a bunch of changes lately: new internet provider, new modem (changed from DSL to cable). However, I have had the new ISP for about a month now and I have not experienced this prior. I was...
