NOTE:
The most important changes in this release are an update of OpenSSL v. 1.1.1 to OpenSSL v. 3.0.x and updating the GCC compiler to version 14.1.0.
Also, importantly, OpenSSL 3.0.x requires a lot more firmware space, so I had to remove eMule support from NETGEAR Downloader.

Thank you!

Thank You @Voxel
2 routers in AP mode running great as ever.

I have tried all day to download the file. The download rate has been around 12KB/s and inevitably fails before completion. My download speed is around 1Gb/s. I've never had this issue with voxel-firmware.com before, and no other sites are slow. Any ideas how I can obtain the firmware update? Thanks!
(Never mind! I logged into a VPN server in Germany and was able to download the file.)

This version of firmware.

The most interesting thing for me would be to check the speed of the OpenVPN client built with OpenSSL 3.0.x of those users who use it.

FYI, OpenSSL 3.0.x is now used in the packages:

openvpn
stubby
getdns
unbound
wget
netatalk
ssmtp

OpenSSL test result (R7800) (openssl-3.0.x speed -evp aes-256-cbc):

The 'numbers' are in 1000s of bytes per second processed.
type 16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes 16384 bytes

Thank you in advance for your information

Thanks, but I wasn't referring to the speed of the OpenSSL test, but to the speed of the OpenVPN client.

Anyway, thanks for your feedback.

Ah, thought you were looking for other runs of the test, I see I misread.

Thanks Voxel. No issues works great.

thank kindly!

Thank you Voxel, i would thank for this firmaware, but days ago wrongly i wrote thank you on orbi thread

 

[Remy561]

Thanks for the update! All is working fine again

I'm experiencing some difficulty with my R7800 since the last updated version. It seems generally related to the router. Both wireless and wired devices have problems. I experience connection stability problems overall, and while not casting blame on the firmware, I'm hoping somebody who has the same issue can share their experience. I don't want to downgrade to an earlier version because I appreciate the security updates in the current release.

I have my external connection monitored, so I occasionally get alerts that my connection is down. I have IoT devices where the web portal site (Ring, SmartThings, etc.) notifies me devices are offline. Is there something I should be looking at to resolve this stability issue? something to enable or disable to improve stability?

All suggestions are appreciated.
