R7800 is really most popular router from NG... Impressing:

I've checked my site log for my own internal needs, 3 minutes after publishing this thread and three downloads already: Belgium, Canada and Netherlands. How do you do that guys? Belgium is the winner now...

Voxel.

 

[kamoj]

Thank you - again.
That's a massive release @Voxel! Do you never sleep?
The kamoj add-on noted me of a new Voxel release.

 

[Voxel]

That's a massive release @Voxel!

Rather maintenance release. Could be skipped.

Do you never sleep?

Sometimes... Well. You know, these mosquitoes...

The kamoj add-on noted me of a new Voxel release.

Oh well, oh well... I see.

Voxel.

 

[kamoj]

I made a few tests already. Fantastic! "Could be skipped" - NO !
Impressing VPN speed again, certainly a keeper!
You @Voxel amaze me so often I should not be amazed anymore, but...
Sincere heartily thanks from me and my router!

 

[HELLO_wORLD]

Thanks again @Voxel

Had 41 days of solid uptime on .79SF with great performance. Thank you Voxel.

The only thing I miss about running OpenWrt on my R7800 was the GUI, Netgear has done a terrible job with the Netgear Genie and I absolutely hate it. Thankfully I rarely have to log in to it because everything just works the way it should.

Here's an iPerf result from .80SF, slightly higher than what I was getting with the previous build.

Again a big MERCI Mr Voxel for this latest upgrade and your never-ending hard work
New version installed, my 7800 had a big smile when I rebooted it

 

[Gallo]

@Voxel thank you kind sir

 

[J5150]

@Voxel Many thanks for your continued efforts and focus. As always your firmware is rock solid stable with incredible performance. I’d take my R7800 with your firmware and Kamoj’s add-on over any of the newer consumer routers on the market.

 

[agoraphobic_squirrel]

@Voxel Thank you so much for the new firmware. Is amazing how much better yours performs over Netgear stock firmware. Really appreciate you. Running great on the r7800.

 

[NetBytes]

Both R7800 running on .80, Thank You @Voxel

 

[jrbmw]

Thanks for the new update @Voxel You and @kamoj are why I bought the R7800.

Regards

I know what i'm going to do this evening!
One question, more in general, i noticed the ping to my R7800 is ~2ms via 5ghz. I remember that previously this was always <1ms, does anyone have the same experience?

Thanks again Voxel!

Since we're sharing data points here's mine...
WIRED:
15 packets transmitted, 15 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.296/0.365/0.481/0.055 ms

WIRELESS 5GHz:
15 packets transmitted, 15 packets received, 0.0% packet loss

I’m 2ms on 5ghz as well.
