Hey I already have an orbi 20 working perfectly fine.

But I'm trying to troubleshoot another one for a friend. It's making the directories but upon reboot the files disappear. It won't even save nvram noarmor 1. I've tried flashing to the original netgear firmware and back to voxel + revert to factory settings. Nothing will save after reboot.

I'm trying to get it to save cell locking upon reboot since it really likes to band hop and cause micro-disconnections. It's really confusing me. I have the current one I'm using right now and its working perfectly fine.

Following this guide https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?t=1876

Once again thanks Voxel without you I wouldn't have internet without you. Where do we tip you at?

Hi,

But I'm trying to troubleshoot another one for a friend. It's making the directories but upon reboot the files disappear.

You should read again the file QuickStart.txt (file in archive with FW). All your changes are not kept after reboot if you do now follow this:

. . .​

2. Overlay partition on Circle partition.​

​

Original stock firmware uses tmpfs overlay partition (in RAM). So all you changes in​

the files/dirs are kept only until next reboot of router/satellite. If you need to keep​

your changed/added files you should use /mnt/circle/overlay directory where you should​

add your new or modified files keeping the dirtree of Orbi. For example, if you wish to​

use your own /etc/dnscrypt-proxy-2.toml just place it into:​

​

/mnt/circle/overlay/etc/dnscrypt-proxy-2.toml​

. . .​

Just place all of your changes into /mnt/circle/overlay/ directory. For example, you need to create the file /opt/scripts/firewall-start.sh. It means the you should create this file as /mnt/circle/overlay/opt/scripts/firewall-start.sh.

It won't even save nvram noarmor 1.

Proper usage is:

nvram set noarmor=1
nvram commit

That's what I'm saying the /mnt/circle/overlay file gets removed upon reboot. I ssh in and use this command "mkdir -p /mnt/circle/overlay/opt/scripts" reboot and only /mnt/circle remains. It will not save upon reboot. I don't understand I'm using the latest firmware. These exact same commands work perfectly on my main unit Just not this one.

Thinking this router might be just dead. It won't save anything beyond /mnt/circle. And yeah I'm using it doesn't save upon reboot. Tried a bunch of 30-30-30 resets, flashing to latest netgear then back to oldest one before your flash. Just won't save anything upon reboot. Very odd. Unless you have any other ideas I'm just gonna call this thing faulty.
