Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.72SF

[MrFrodo]

What about your FLAC (minidlna)? Did you try?

Voxel.

I works perfectly - have tested FLAC files up to 192kz 24bit quality

Again, thanx a LOT for your work Mr Voxel. And for the time you spend replying to many posts here (and there?) you're always available and your posts are really detailed and more

Thanks for your work. It's working great here.

I am having a problem where I lose DNS after a few hours. I suspect DNSCrypt is crashing. A reboot of the router fixes it, but I'm sure there's an easier way. I'll try to post a log when it happens again.

Hi,

I've got a doubt about the firmware update steps.

This is my workflow:

1. Update the firmware.
2. Reset to factory defaults.
3. Restore previous config with a backup file I did before the first step.

I understand that restoring to defaults, it cleans everything, and then, with my backup file, it restores just the proper data, without any kind of junk.

Am I wrong?

Cheers

Voxel -- thanks so much for your hard work!

Hello,
I never reseted to factory default before updating to a new Voxel firmware and my router is working great

Yeah, don't think a reset is usually necessary.

Everything was working fine since this morning but I just lost DNS again. I was able to get it back by restarting dnscrypt-proxy-2:

/etc/init.d/dnscrypt-proxy-2 restart

The log /var/log/dnscrypt-proxy-2.log doesn't show anything happening. Is there another log I can look at?

If nothing else you can try: DNSCrypt-Proxy version 2 and STUBBY add-ons for R7800/R9000

Thank you, but I've never had an issue before this new firmware.

 

[percy3]

Can somebody post dslreports.com/speedtest results with hi-res bufferbloat enabled in speedtest settings from 5G WLAN while on .72SF firmware?

 

[3rdOne]

Just upgraded to 1.0.2.72SF - no issues at all.

Thank you Voxel, always awesome.

Do you use your own config /etc/dnscrypt-proxy-2.toml?

dnscrypt-proxy-2 executable binary is used "as-is" in my firmware. It is prepared by author of dnscrypt-proxy-2.

But make sure if you are using your own config that it could be changed from version to version. So if you need your own servers just edit /etc/dnscrypt-proxy-2.toml from latest firmware. Original file (firmware version) is available: /rom/etc/dnscrypt-proxy-2.toml

FYI I do use it for 3 routers. Uptime is more than 3 days and it is working still... My log

Absolutely. I never overwrite the file. The default file gets edited.
