Hello Voxel,
I am a happy user of your firmware for a couple of months now. I just have some questions which I hope you can answer...
- Is it normal that I loose my openvpn-settings, dnscrypt and ssh access after every firmware update? Is there anything I can do to make it persistent...?
- Do you happen to know how I can start/stop the Plex Media Server from commandline (in SSH)?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Is it normal that I loose my openvpn-settings, dnscrypt and ssh access after every firmware update? Is there anything I can do to make it persistent...?
Your changes are kept in overlay partition and the last is erased when you perform new fw flashing. So it is better to have a backup on external USB disk/stick. You could easely restory all your tuning after new flashing. See:
https://www.snbforums.com/threads/enabling-dhcp-auth-options-60-and-61-o...
As a rule backup is created only once, so just restore from tarbal after flashing.
Do you happen to know how I can start/stop the Plex Media Server from commandline (in SSH)?
Start/stop Plex:
/etc/plexmediaserver/cmdplexmediaserver start
/etc/plexmediaserver/cmdplexmediaserver stop
Voxel.
Voxel,
Thanks for sharing. Howerver, the plexcommands does not seem to work. I got no output so it seems the script runs fine, but when I stop plex with commandline, I am still able to access it. Also the webUI still shows plex as running.
Is it possible to verify on your end if it works?
I got one additional question: In your readme, it says how to disable cloudready, but it does not really explain how to remove the bits. Can you please explain?
I have already posted also in the snbforum, since it seems that is your preferred place.
Thanks
Drop the plex thing. Seems to be working, but you need to give the full path when running cmdplexmediaserver.
I try to run this from a remote host over ssh, but that now gives me an error that it can't locate any USB drives...
When I run it on the router itself, it works fine now.
Hi.
Sorry for my poor english.
I'm successfully setup Voxel's 1.0.4.6HF-HW version firmware and Entware.(Thanks Voxel.)
I want to use freedns.araid.org for DDNS.
Please suggest solution for DDNS. Thanks for all.

There is the possibility. Using Entware and ddclient. Entware for Perl installation (ddclient is using Perl). But this ways requires some knowledge of Linux.

There is no perl package by default and i cant opkg update because of this:

Hi Voxel, I want to switch to your firmware from DD-WRT (wish I would of seen you kept settings before going with them) but few questions.
1. Does your firmware have a tool to monitor outbound bandwith usage? Comcast is saying I'm going over my data and stock NG firmware sucks for tracking usuage
2. On the download page what is the diffrence between the hf and hf-hw .zip/image files? Which one would be needed for someone going from stock to your firmware?
Thanks
Hi,
1. Rather not. My version is improvement of a stock. Sorry.
2. HF-HW is using hardware acceleration of OpenSSL (i.e. some components such as OpenVPN, https, ReadyCLOUD should work much faster). Ordinary "HF" version is just some kind of fallback if somebody face the issue with HF-HW (still no such alarms). So HF-HW is recommended.
Voxel.
Voxel I'm new here and to flashing routers. I was wondering why it seems to be that you don't install your firmware the same as the others? I have a R9000, there's a lot talking about your work, but I can't figure out how to install by what you are saying. Is it me?
Thanks,
Danser

Sorry, I do not understand your question. If you do not know how to install my build from the stock fw, it is quite easy: download zip with my firmware, unpack it to get IMG file and point this IMG file from WebGUI of router (Advanced->Administration->Firmware Update) as a firmware to flash.
Voxel.
It is a bit problematic for me to understand you. What do you mean under "RC version of the file"? I do use as a base for my build official GPL source codes of a stock firmware.
If you are using only firmware from NG there is no any necessity in special actions and special additional hardware such as USB drive to flash my version. No necessity in special BIN file.
To flash my build it is enough (when you are with official NG firmware):
1. Download an archive https://www.voxel-firmware.com/Downloads/Voxel/R9000-Voxel-firmware/R900... to your computer
2. Unpack it, you will get the file R9000-V1.0.4.15HF-HW.img
3. Enter to router WebGUI: http://routerlogin.net/index.htm
4. Select the tab ADVANCED and select Administration->Firmware Update in the left part of this page menu.
5. Use the button [Browse] to select the file R9000-V1.0.4.15HF-HW.img and then click [Upload]
Thats' all. Your current settings should be kept.
To revert back to stock download the file http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/R9000/R9000-V1.0.4.12.zip (it is official latest stock firmware file), And do similar to flash IMG stored in this archive. You will get a router with official NG firmware.
Both procedures takes not more than 5 minutes. And no any special file or USB or whatever else are needed. No necessity to re-configure router. So if you flash my version and after this revert back to stock, you will not see any changes.
Voxel.
On the (RC). Basically where your file is now.
From WIKI:
On the USB stick, or ethernet cable. Can either be used to flash the file.
Nevermind got to thinking about it and I'd say no with the USB.
New version of my custom firmware build: 1.0.4.16HF/1.0.4.16HF-HW.
(NOTE: This release does not contain integration of latest stock firmware changes. Too many negative feedback (issues) for release of the stock firmware. But there are several fixes of security issues so it has a sense to perform upgrade from previous version. Thus it is intermediate maintenance release to provide synchronization of changes for R7800.)

Hi. Is this firmware more stable than the current stock firmware? I'm asking because on the current stock firmware I get constant disconnects when downloading large files such as 4K video downloads. Thanks.
