    Netgear X4s with Voxel FW: How to set DNS for the DHCP server?

    Looks like my Raspberry Pi 3 is a bottle neck, I do have Pihole, Kodi and a few other things running on it and when I enable the Pihole DHCP server my CPU usage spikes to 88%-100% and some of my devices do not get IP addresses assigned to them. If there is no other way to assign a DNS server for...

    Netgear X4s with Voxel FW: How to set DNS for the DHCP server?

    I have a Netgear X4S router with Voxels v.1.0.2.70SF installed. I recently got AT&T gigabit fiber internet so I upgraded my home network. I will try my best to explain my setup : I have the AT&T internet plugged into my WAN port on my Netgear X4s with Voxels latest FW (Wifi is disabled on my...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.65SF

    I tftp'ed 1.0.2.46 stock FW and then updated to 1.0.2.62 from the GUI and it behaved just like your .64SF stable for the most part with occasional drop outs in wifi but nothing serious. I then updated from stock 1.0.2.62 to .65SF and my problems started again I have no idea why my router does...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.65SF

    Thank you for your excellent work. I love your FW as it boosted my download through put and lowered my ping time. Sadly the .65SF breaks my 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz Wifi, my devices can connect to the 2.4Ghz but the connection drops are very frequent like 15-20 times times in 5 mins I can see my windows...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.65SF

    A followup on my experiments, I updated from stock 1.2.46 to .65SF and got my 5Ghz wifi issues back. All my devices can see my 5Ghz ssid but cannot connect to it, my desktop PC with windows 10 just tells me the password I entered is wrong but I know its correct and all my other devices just...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.65SF

    Thank you Percy3 ! I did mtd erase netgear and flashed stock 10.2.46 via TFTP, then factory reset via GUI. Now everything is working flawlessly, my router is back to its original state before flashing voxel's FW. 5Ghz works with no issues and I have not reboot my router in 3 days and not once...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.65SF

    I was on Voxel 64SF and upgraded to .65SF. Voxel's .64SF worked well for me the problems started when I moved to .65 now no matter what FW my Wifi does not work properly. To answer your questions: My systems just detect a DirectTv, Xfinity and my wifi ssid other than this no other Wifi...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.65SF

    Going back to the stock FW V1.0.2.62 after mtd erase netgear screws up wifi completely, with stock I am not able to connect to my 2.4 or 5Ghz with smart connect enabled or disabled. I might be doing something wrong here is the sequence of steps I perform when flashing stock or voxel FW: +...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.65SF

    Correct, I moved to .65SF from .64SF. v.64SF was pretty stable for me with some occasional WIFI dropouts like 2-3 times a day but other than that everything was fine but now even .64SF is having a ton of problems.

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.65SF

    After updating to R7800 v. 1.0.2.65SF I have completely lost connectivity to my 5Ghz network. The 5Ghz ssid is visible but my devices which were working fine before just cant connect to it anymore. On my windows system I keep getting a message that my password for the 5Ghz connection is not...

    R7800 dns setting for the lan dhcp server

    Playing with those options did nothing to make the disconnecting issue better, my router has been up for 6+ days and my wifi still disconnects like 2-3 times a day. However here are some things I observed when playing with those options: * Smart connect enabled : Through put fell by 8Mbps. *...

    R7800 dns setting for the lan dhcp server

    I have the Intel 9260 Wifi cards in my laptop and desktop systems. I have disabled the smart connect feature, I dont remember seeing this option with the stock 1.1.46 FW. I had a slew of options enabled in the stock FW before I started having issues after updating to Voxel's FW like HT160...

    R7800 dns setting for the lan dhcp server

    @percy3 I cannot thank you enough "mtd erase netgear" + reinstalling voxels 64SF did resolve my issue to a large extent. My router has been up for 4 days and in this time I have lost my Wifi 5-10 times, again this is what I have noticed when using Wifi when I am home. This is so much better than...

    R7800 dns setting for the lan dhcp server

    No I like to have separate bands for my 2.4 and 5Ghz. Yeah all Wifi just drops, my Lan connection is rock solid though. Some settings I did change are turned off HT160, turned off QoS and enabled MuMimo. I have about 13-15 connected on an average and when the drop outs occur they all lose...

    R7800 dns setting for the lan dhcp server

    I factory reset the router again, I did not back up my settings since they are just wireless ones and I could do them again and did not want to import any bad settings. My 5Ghz is set to channel 153. After factory resetting the router the Wifi drop outs reduced to like one disconnect per 5-10...

    R7800 dns setting for the lan dhcp server

    I did update to the latest Voxel firmware but the issue persists. Is this a known issue with this FW ? if yes I might go back to an older FW pre .46.

    R7800 dns setting for the lan dhcp server

    @kamoj @Voxel @W1lliam After your recommendations I updated to Voxels R7800-V1.0.2.50SF because that was the equivalent of the stock NG 1.0.2.46 firmware but I started having constant Wifi dropouts both on my 2.4 and 5Ghz bands. I then updated to Voxel's latest R7800-V1.0.2.64SF FW and still...

    R7800 dns setting for the lan dhcp server

    @W1lliam Thank you. @kamoj Thank you. I went through the forums you posted and I did find an option to enable telnet. I was able to telnet into my R7800 and found the /etc/dnsmasq.conf file, will adding the line server=/localnet/<pi-hole IP address> work? I know you suggested updating to...
