Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.83SF

[pege63]

No i never lose the radio after update, its only that i cant enter the settings as in the photo anymore.
I tried all the resets its still the same, cant enter in any mode.
Before the update all settings worked and i could enter them all.
Unfortunately, I deleted my old Voxel FW file and i don't remember the FW version.

Maybe you have to clear the cache in the browser. Or try plain http instead of https if you are using https. Or other browser?

Good idea, but no luck on that.
I also can not enter into the Schedule settings as well?

I have no ideas what's wrong.

There are nvram values to enable/disable this schedule from telnet/ssh:

to enable:

nvram set wladv_schedule_enable=1
nvram set wladv_schedule_enable_a=1
nvram commit

to disable:

nvram set wladv_schedule_enable=1
nvram set wladv_schedule_enable_a=1
nvram commit

and try to check what is in your nvram with schedules:

nvram show | grep sched

Finally fixed the issue of getting through setup by only having the ethernet in from ONT directly attached to the R7800 internet/WAN port.
Turned off my Verizon router and restarted my ONT battery box and R7800. Connected laptop to R7800 LAN port #1 (nothing else connected). Once the R7800 got internet, I started adding stuff onto the R7800 LAN ports.

Hey Voxel what NG firmware is the baseline for this one?
it looks like netgear's latest verson is 1.0.2.82, and was released on March 26. but I know you have said they are sometimes a few releases back on their open source downloads.

Yes if ONT is your incoming Fiber Box and you skip your ISP (Verizon) Router, then you connect to the R7800 WAN port.
But if you using the your ISP Verizon Router you use the WAN and from Verizon LAN port, you should connect to the R7800 LAN port IF it is in AP mode.

Dont you get your services ID to Internet, IPTV, VOIP and so on from your ISP Verizon Router?

Unfortunately it's a common problem to lose radio when updating firmware. Netgear/Voxel same issue.
Ever tried the kamoj add-on, and it's wifi supervision?
Or try this from a command prompt:

   wlan down;wlan up;for i in 1 2;do { [ "$(dni_wlan radio 11a -s)" != "ON" ] || [ "$(dni_wlan radio 11g -s)" != "ON" ]; } && wlan toggle; done

If not helping read the kamoj FAQ.txt and to the "better factory reset" described there.
Good luck!

Where can i download the kamoj add-on again, i have forget where?

Hello,

To install Kamoj add-on, log on your 7800 and type :

wget --no-check-certificate https://voxel-firmware.com/Downloads/kamoj-addon_191214-083737-1_ipq806x.ipk

/bin/opkg install --force-overwrite kamoj-addon_191214-083737-1_ipq806x.ipk
Reboot

Reboot

As far as I know kamoj has more fresh version of his add-on (not 2019). It is necessary to contact him in P.M to get it.

Question to @Voxel :

Are packages zebra and ripngd updatable or stuck because of kernel/NG?

Version in firmware are:

root@HERMES:~$ /usr/sbin/zebra -v
zebra version 0.95a (arm-openwrt-linux)
Copyright 1996-2001, Kunihiro Ishiguro
root@HERMES:~$ /usr/sbin/ripngd -v 
ripngd version 0.95a (arm-openwrt-linux)
Copyright 1996-2001, Kunihiro Ishiguro

Latest version (not recent) is 1.2.4.

I also have problems to set NTP server for time, and it has internet connection but still does not work?
And the NTP settings are the same as on my gateway (ntp1.rgw.telia.se, ntp2.rgw.telia.se)

I notice that is shows time BUT its 1h behind, but stills get the message:
Warning:The router has failed to connect to the selected NTP server,please check your internet connectivity or try another NTP server

And what is this block schedule, block what?
And i cant enter the setting in here as well?

This is to block access to the internet on certain times.
And in the screenshot, apparently you blocked all days from 00:00 to 24:00, so you blocked internet access always.
This would also explain why it cannot connect to NTP or reach cloudfare...

Thank you VOXEL for your work.

Yes, BUT the thing is hat i have Internet access on both LAN & WIFI and all clients can connect to the router and they all have internet access.
Must be a way to upload a "empty" *.cfg file to the router, where this is not ticked in NTP & schedule.

Or is there a code to delete the schedule settings?
But on the other side the commands from a router shell/prompt to Erase all configuration data did not worked at all, everything was still there after reboot.

 

[redpaw.rider]

I saw the title of the post and took a bit to realize what it was. Had no idea there was firmware work going on here - i thank you too and appreciate this type of effort more than any other for many reasons so share any help or support you need.

I’m guessing this is in wireless devices or something you’ve created a device for?

Latest version (not recent) is 1.2.4.

I did not upgrade them because they are started only when IPv6 is enabled (/etc/net6conf/6service). If you test them installing e.g. from Entware and using their config I am ready to upgrade zebra/ripngd.

The Entware version does not work. The problem is it is configured for user/group network/network, where I believe it should be root/root:

root@HERMES:~$ zebra -v
zebra version 1.2.4
Copyright 1996-2005 Kunihiro Ishiguro, et al.
configured with:
        --target=arm-openwrt-linux --host=arm-openwrt-linux --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --program-suffix= --prefix=/opt --exec-prefix=/opt --bindir=/opt/bin --sbindir=/opt/sbin --libexecdir=/opt/lib --sysconfdir=/opt/etc --datadir=/opt/share --localstatedir=/opt/var --mandir=/opt/man --infodir=/opt/info --disable-nls --localstatedir=/opt/var/run/quagga --sysconfdir=/opt/etc/quagga/ --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-user=network --enable-group=network --enable-multipath=8 --disable-ospfclient --disable-capabilities --disable-doc --disable-nhrpd --enable-zebra --enable-ospfd --enable-bgpd --enable-isisd --enable-ospf6d --enable-ripd --enable-ripngd --enable-vtysh

Do you have the configure setup used for the NG GNU version?
EDIT: found it in your GitHub https://github.com/SVoxel/R7800/blob/master/package/zebra/Makefile
I will try to compile 1.2.4 with same setup

 

[Voxel]

I will try to compile 1.2.4 with same setup

Compilation is not the only problem I think...

The problem is it is configured for user/group network/network, where I believe it should be root/root:

As far as I understand it is possible to use the options -u root -g root... But does not work as well. I cannot be an expert in all of packages of firmware, e.g. this zebra... Sorry.

Good luck with your attempts.

Voxel.
