Thank you once again for another awesome update

Anyone else having issues accessing the Voxel website/downloading firmware?

edit: disregard, seems to be an issue with our home internet accessing the site - was able to access it on my mobile off wifi without issue and send to myself. Weird!

Thanks Voxel!

I'm currently / still running stock firmware, and it's been very stable for me. My only issue is, some devices always prefer to connect to a distant satellite (basement) instead of one nearby (2nd floor). Before I switch, is this something that has been addressed in the custom firmware? Or will it automatically "bounce" the device to the nearest satellite if it sees it has a weak signal? The stock firmware doesn't seem to do this. Thanks!

EDIT: Nevermind... I have RBK20, not 50. My bad!

Am keen to shift to Voxel's firmware, but whenever I try to downgrade my stock firmware from 2.7.4.24 to 2.5.2.4 the satellite (I have one) seems to automatically update back to 2.7.4.24. Entire system became inaccessble when I tried to downgrade the router after that and had to do a reset. Am assuming I need to downgrade before I can switch to Voxel.

Any suggestions on how to take this forward?

Update: After searching this forum I found a solution: disconnect from Internet and downgrade, then upgrade to Voxel's firmware. Then connect to Internet. Everything's working fine now. Thanks Voxel!
