Hi Voxel, first of all THANKS for your great work and spending your time to provide a stable and improved Firmware for us. I have recognized in this version a lower signal strength in the 2.4Ghz network. I have a camera which has at the same position 80% signal strength in the previous firmware and with the current Firmware it only gets 45%. To check this I switched back to the previous Version and I got again the 80%. Do you have an idea why this could be?

Thanks in advance for your support….

I am having difficulty getting the wiregaurd to work after flashing this firmware . I followed the instructions I think and when it is connecting to my vpn provider (IPVanish). I am not entirely sure I have it set-up correctly, but in the /var/log/wireguard.log I see a message about setting up the iptables and rules and then I have no internet. Any troubleshooting or advice appreciated. And keep up the greate work. You have free'd my ORBI from the firmware hell it was in.
