Custom firmware build for R9000/R8900 v. 1.0.4.39.1HF

[Voxel]

Stay at home please, torment your router, save you family. COVID-19 it is seriously.

Now: You have a lot what to do. This is important release. Mainly because of using new Toolchain including significant changes such as latest GCC compiler v 9.3.0 released Mar 12, 2020 instead of old 4.8.5 (2015).

https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-9/

Goal is obvious: additional performance boost because of modern compiler optimization.

@Voxel with this release, I want to buy a compatible NG router just to torment it!

Great updates and options for the NG community from you. Keep yourself and your family safe too!

 

[nsx]

thank you for this new version, keeping our router safe and perform even better!

 

[VinnyJ]

Upgraded to this version, the only thing I became aware after reinstalling Kamoj's addon was the change to YeAH from Westwood for Congestion control.
Which is the correct setting? If any.

That sort of thing goes a bit outside my realm of knowledge, google searches give various opinions and something called TCP BBR, which isn't in this FW.

Sorry, I forgot to add into release notes. YeAH was set as default in 39.1HF...

You may switch to Westwood+.

I don't see or feel any difference, but YEAH sounds much cooler so I'm keeping it

Hello Voxel,

Thank you for the good work you are doing on R9000 and keeping it current with NG bugs out. Regards.

[jlaine]

I lost power to my R9000 and found it lost all settings afterward on this version - can anyone confirm/deny the same? It goes right back into factory setup every time for me.

 

[marka2k]

@jlaine

Same thing happened to me but on previous version I had to flash Netgear Latest Firmware, factory reset and then load Voxel Firmware, resetup and everything is well YMMV

my experience from another thread: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/custom-firmware-build-for-r9000-r8900-v-1-0-4-38-3hf.62650/

 

[jlaine]

@marka2k

That worked perfectly! Thank you so much for the guidance!!!

Hello,

Does any one know how to Disable WPS on R9000? I can't find a setting to completely disable WPS on R9000. I am running Voxel. Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you very much. I have removed the check mark. Will this completely disable wps?
