Working perfectly fine. Thank you.

Builds fine as well with gcc 12.1.0

 

[Luizk]

Thank you so much. Gracias

Best firmware for R7800 provide better security and faster speed, and the ONLY reason I still staying on R7800 as main router.

 

[Kitsap]

Dirty update from V1.0.2.94.4SF configured as a router. Had the warning about uploading older firmware.

Smooth so far. Thank you!

 

[LeKeiser]

Firmware 95SF installed without a glitch and it's running smooth so far
Again, Thanx a lot Mr @Voxel

 

[Voxel]

Builds fine as well with gcc 12.1.0

It is the most interesting and promising stuff. For me at least. The most modern compiler can be used for R7800 firmware. The R7800 is really a workhorse.

I am wondering: why are there two different versions of OpenSSL present/needed?
Works great anyway!

Oh, I'm even afraid to say, but three different versions...

The first one (version 0.9.8) is for running the rather obsolete fbwifi program (don't worry too much, it is not used explicitly w/o your explicite intervention), the second version 1.0.2 for running services like ReadyCLOUD, https, and the like (used by NG/DNI because of outdated SDK they have to use), and the third version 1.1.1 is my attempt to go more modern by avoiding significant security vulnerabilities for several services, such as OpenVPN, DoH with TLS 1.3 etc.

works perfectly, like always/
THANK YOU!

Yep. I have an asus ax-82u with faster wifi and supports some LACP.... but I can't have the tricked out DNS configuration that I can do with voxel's version, so I keep the r7800 as my main

Anyway, I upgraded from 1.0.2.94.4. I did get the warning about .95 being older.

seems fine so far! Thanks for the work!

as usual I had to restore my one line dnsmasq config edit to restore using the full dnsmasq from here:

Hi @Voxel

Upgraded from V1.0.2.93 to V1.0.2.95. (I skipped all versions of V1.0.2.94).

All good!

Thank you.

 

[Remy561]

Another smooth upgrade.
Thanks a lot @Voxel!!

 

[hawkward]

Voxel, thanks again for your time and effort to keep this firmware fast, and up to date with security fixes. Your efforts are appreciated!

 

[NetBytes]

Thank you @Voxel, upgraded both R7800 APs and everything functioning as expected.

Thank you for this. I've been remediating openssl at work and had completely neglected it at home.

 

[TheLostSwede]

For some reason I can't get this installed. It uploads, a page flashes and then takes me back to the Firmware Update page.
On 1.0.2.94.4SF.

Edit: Changed to a different browser and it worked, but gave me a warning about it being an older firmware than the one already installed.

Are you sure of your download? What's its size. MD5 as well?

Yes, not the first time I've done this. See edit above.

Version alert is normal… Netgear version calculator thinks 1.0.2.94.4 is bigger than 1.0.2.95
