Hello Voxel!
First of all I would like to thank you for your work on the R7500 FW.
You probably think it's not a big deal but it is, really.
I am about to test your modified FW (if I understood correctly you modified a base FW from netgear, one of the old ones as the new ones contains a bug) and I wanted to know if there is any special procedure (like the 30/30/30 reboot sequence for cisco) for the upgrade/downgrade or is it just as we do it like always via webgui?
Best regards,
D
Nevermind, found your docx in your first package :)
(no edit option here?)
Hi Darts,
First time it is necessary to do this 30/30/30 after flashing from WebGUI because I use in my latest FW drivers for Quantenna which are extracted from some unofficial stock FW.
When you will upgrade from my version to my new version this procedure will be needed only if I warn.
The basis for my FW is really relatively old version of FW, but it is already significantly changed by me. So it is fresh :-)
readme.docx is outdated. It is necessary to update it, but I am too lazy. A bit later. So while it is not done, I am afraid you have to browse all this theme to understand what is in latest FW, what new features (like dnscrypt-proxy).
Regards,
Voxel.
Hi Voxel,
I have installed your custom firmware 1.0.1.0.5, this is my feedback at day 4 :
1. Dynamic QOS bug has been resolved, now I can run speedtest and activate it.
2. It seems that WiFi signal on 2Ghz and 5Ghz is better and more stable compared to previous firmware.
I have tried streaming, readyshare on many devices at the same time.
3. I have scheduled switch off 2Ghz and 5Ghz at 1.00am and switch on at 6.00am.
Router does not switch off WiFi, no logs is tracked for these events and now option to disable radio on scheduled time is dimmed.
I confirm that time on webgui and ssh console is correct.
Also others custom firmware had issues with scheduled WiFi.
Many thanks for your job, now R7500 is very improved than last stock firmware.
Regards
Robysax
Hi Robysax!
Wi-Fi schedule. It is strange. I did not touch scheduler in FW. To say true I do use now my new custom FW (testing, will be published soon), but as far as I remember I already tried to apply this Wi-Fi schedule with previous versions of my FW.
So, I tried to test, I set a schedule to turn off Wi-Fi (both 2.4 and 5) for a half of hour. An it works. Moreover, main page of WebGUI displayed the warning (Wi-Fi is OFF):
https://yadi.sk/i/F8Ohq_ButFTvj
Could you let me know your timezone to set it in WebGUI? Concrete TZ. There were several bugs in WebGUI, for example TZ for my city was wrong (Netgear bug). I corrected it, but maybe something is wrong for you TZ too.
Regards,
Voxel.
Hi Voxel,
I am from Switzerland, my timezone set on webgui is GMT+1 with option Daylight Saving Time active.
I also tried to schedule WiFi by crontab from ssh console but it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance for your support
I publish new version of custom firmware: 1.0.1.07SF.

2. Yet another not needed packages are removed to save space.
3. I am not sure, maybe I made a mistake in previous version when I set YeAH TCP Congestion Control algorithm. Now it is really default.
4. Transmission (bittorrent client) is added to firmware. Can be run from WebGUI.
I updated readme.docx at the end of all. The link is the same https://yadi.sk/i/ipLqXywqqpz8b
You should read it re: how to use transmission from FW. (Don’t be surprised when reading, I intend to support R7800 too :-) )
Voxel.
reason: daylight savings time checkbox. If it is checked in TZ settings page,
then the scheduler does not work. Does not work at all, even with wrong time
shift.
precompiled binary from stock FW. I do not have source codes. So it is just
Netgear's bug.
without DST checkbox selected. And change it back in autumn time, when time will
be shifted again. Twice per year. And every time w/o daylight savings
checkbox.
from FW.
Hi Voxel,
In these day I am trying your last firmware 1.0.1.07.
From ssh console, I have seen that file /tmp/dnsmasq.conf has cache-size=0, is correct ?
Is dnsmasq cache used ?
Where I can find dns names cached ?
Regards
Robysax
Hi Robysax,
I practically did not touch dnsmasq in FW, all as in stock FW. If you want to change dnsmasq config (e.g.replace cache-size=0 to say cache-size=1500) you should edit /etc/dnsmasq-resolv.conf file. And reboot router after your chages.
Regards,
Voxel.
Hi Voxel,
I have modified cache-size=8192 in /etc/dnsmasq-resolv.conf and now, internet browsing is more quick.
I think that it could be a default cache-size at least 2048 in the next release of your custom firmware.
Changed TZ to GMT+2 and disabled DST option in router GUI, scheduled WiFi works fine now.
Thanks for your job
Regards
Robysax
Hi Robysax,
OK, thank for your feedbacks. I already added cache-size to my "to-do" list. In the next release.
Regards,
Voxel.
Hi all,
I publish new version of custom firmware: 1.0.1.08SF
The link is https://yadi.sk/d/6MURMb1Ttg3PT
What’s new (vs previous version):
1.
swapon/swapoff/mkswap
utilities are available in firmware. Now it is not necessary to install Entware-ng to make and enable swap file for Transmission, so you can use Transmission w/o Entware-ng installed. Swap file is enabled automatically if it is in:/opt/swap
or/mnt/sda1/swap
or/mnt/sdb1/swap
(i.e. in the root of you external drive or in /opt). Independence from Entware-ng :-)2. Cache is added to dnsmasq config file (thanks to Robysax for his suggestion).
3. dropbear version is updated (a lot of security fixes). 2016.73->2016.74
4. OpenSSL version is updated. 2.3.10->2.3.11
5. e2fsprogs version is updated to most fresh version (June 2016).
6.
sysctl
is updated with the sting:net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control = yeah
7. Several not needed packages are removed (to free space for p. 1-5 above)
Voxel
Sorry, missprint. OpenVPN version is updates: 2.3.10->2.3.11
Voxel.
Hi Voxel,
I have installed your last firmware 1.0.1.08, so far all ok.
I can't see any difference from previous firmware with WiFi connections, speed etc.
In this firmware and previous, QOS works but is not possible to update database of performance optimization.
It's no big problem for me, actually I don't use QOS but, it's possible resolve this bug ?
Regarding my wishlist :
R7000 has Readycloud feature, do you think is possible to add it to R7500 in your next release ?
Is possible to align readyshare module to the same release of others Netgear routers ?
Any chance to update 2.4Ghz drivers ?
thanks in advance for your infos
Regards
Robysax
Hi Robysax,
The main difference with the previous version is that no Entware install is neede to use all FW features (namely transmission). In previous version you had to create swap and enable it using Entware. Now these toools are available in FW.
QoS: OK, I'll check. I did not pay an attention to QoS because I also do not use it.
ReadyCloud: I amd not sure. Really no space in firmware. I do not like much all these Netgear's add-ons, but will check. Rather from R7800 FW than from R7000.
ReadyShare. It cosists of Samba, FTP and HTTP protocols (plus minidlna somehow). I use Samba from latest release of FW for R7800. So it is most fresh Netgear's release. FTP - it is even more recent version. Stock FW (even latest for R7800 or R7500v2) uses ProFTP v 1.3.3. I replaced it by latest 1.3.5b adding also Netgear's specific changes. HTTP daemon - it is precompiled module. I cannot re-use it from FW of other routers. Minidlna - you know. the version 1.1.5 (2015) in my FW vs version 2012 in stock FW.
Update of 2.4GHz drivers. I do not think that it is possible. Because of the fact that I use previous version with kernel 3.4.0, when updated drivers in stock FW (1.0.0.94) use the kernel v. 3.4.103. Plus and minus of Quantenna driver (5GHz) that it is encapsulated and de-facto the drivers is just single *.ko module. And thus I succeeded to correct this single module and use the version for 3.4.103 in the kernel 3.4.0. Qualcomm's drivers (2.4GHz) have a lot of *.ko modules. So most probably there will be brick if I try to use them. Again, the main problem is that latest official GPL for R7500 (with the version of kernel 3.4.103) is unusable. Spoiled wrong codes. Even broken symlinks inside archive.
Regards,
Voxel.
Hi Voxel,
Thanks for your quick reply.
In these days, I will do others tests and I will send you a feedback.
I think Readyshare is a bad module from Netgear, I obtain poor performance.
Tested with USB key with FAT32 and ext2 format attached to router, from PC Windows 10 via WiFi read/write is very slow and often it hang up.
If I want to switch to samba server on Entware-ng, I have also to switch mini-dlna of enterware ?
Regards
Robysax
Hi Robysax,
Please take into account that usually USB key is not very fast device. USB HDD or SSD would be much faster.
Regarding minidlna: if I am not mistaken you can use minidlna from FW without Samba. By unclear reason in adwanced options of ReadyShare it displays something like that you have to have samba userw/o password or so. But minidlna do not use samba. So you can use minidlna from FW and samba from Entware (switching samba in FW off).
Regards,
Voxel.
HI Voxel
Is there any possibility to change the original VPN "dev tap" to "dev tun"? becaus the tap setting can not support the IOS and Android. thanks.
Hello
is there a chance to run the modem Huawei e3372s-153 on this router?
If so, how to do it?
Hi guys, I kept silence because of problems with forum: cannot write anything here. One more attempt.
Kylewu:
TAP->TUN. Everything is possible of course. But I am not sure that everybody needs TUN, but not TAP. It is possible with e.g. Entware-ng. To have TUN (together with TAP). Why don't you try this way? With your own config. There are a lot of options in OpenVPN like accept client-to-client connection, forward all Internet stream through OpenVPN server or only client-to-client connection, etc. You own config is mor flexible for you, right?
Luki:
There is a theme
http://myopenrouter.com/forum/r7500v1-and-lte-modem
better to write there. I'll answer in the theme above.
Regards,
Voxel.
HI voxel
you are right, however I do not know much about openvpn, I think I will try to set it up on Entware-ng. thanks.
I publish new version of firmware: 1.0.1.10SF. The link is:
https://yadi.sk/d/giNzfiaiudVcE
What is new (vs previous version):
1. QoS DB is updated (I used it from latest FW for R7800)
2. TCP congestion controls:
a. Now the following algorithms are available, user can select: westwood+ reno cubic vegas yeah Illinois
b. Default algorithm is weswood+ (testing purposes).
3. Some minor bugs made by Netgear are corrected.
4. I updated build tools to more fresh version. It is internal purposes (to build firmware). But might be something will be more stable.
5. Beta support of LTE mode in hostless mode, i.e. HiLink (when plugged into your computer, it appears as an Ethernet device rather than a USB device). I.e. you use your browser to control this modem by its WebGUI, not "Connection Manager"
To use it you should attach modem to USB port, disconnect WAN cable and reboot router. If WAN cable is attached, router will operate as usual.
P.S. I often cannot answer anything in this forum. Problems with forum. So, maybe in P.M.
Voxel.
Voxel,
good to see you made it with the LTE Mode Support. A long way but you got it Great ! I shouldn’t had sold mine than I could have this tested. This was the only reason for me to sell the Monster.
Good work Man !
Hello Voxel,
I would like to know if it is possible (throught Entware-ng package in you custom firmware, ) to manage restriction of network access ( like DDWRT - http://www.flashrouters.com/blog/2015/02/19/setup-dd-wrt-router-access-restrictions/ ) because the official FW is really not friendly and flexible.
Thanks.
Regards, Rikko
Voxel,
I've probably encountered a problem with your current 1.0.1.10SF firmware version (it concerns the Tansmission function). When i don't use Transmission (leaving all settings to default after flashing the firmware) everything seem's to work fine. But as soon as i edit my Transmission settings (e.g. change download location, change service port) and upload a torrent file, the system seem's to crash totally after a few minutes. When this happens only WLAN and internet connection still works, but all other services like readyshare, mediaserver, web interface, etc. seem to be crashed. I can't even access the router anymore via web interface, nor is the router responding to any ping commands. The only solution i found to work is shut down & restart the router using the hardware on/off button on it's backside. After the router ist restarted everything works fine again and tTansmission settings are reseted to default again.
Hi Danielos,
Sorry for a silince. Vacations. Thanks for good words. Yes, I succeeded. Funny, we could do that a half year ago, the only left to do was to unload Netgear's NetUSB.ko module.... And to stop detcable service.
Regards,
Voxel.
Hi Mr.Ash,
All depends on concrete settings you set. For example crash could be if you set target download location to internal flash memory of router, if you do not use swap etc. Are you able to send me transmission config file after you modified it? From /etc/transmission/ directory, settings.json file.
Regards,
Voxel.
Hi Voxel,
Thanks to take in account my message. My request is to allow / block WLAN access per mac adress / IP. The current option in the firmware allow the management of one list of client (allowed or blocked) but not client per client.
Regard, Rikko.
