Forgive me if this is obvious, but try physically cabling into the satellites and router and see what happens? And then ensure that over wifi you're on 5GHz (you can option-click the wifi symbol in a Mac's menu bar to see, for example) and preferably on an uncongested channel? Next step, I...

Yeah, nobody in my house is very happy when the internet goes down during the pandemic... Particularly for hours.

Hi all, I've got a few Orbi satellite nodes (RBS50), including one outdoor one (RBS50Y). All except the RBS50Y are running Voxel's 9.2.5.1.19SF-HW firmware. Daisy chaining helps me a lot for the furthest node, but it keeps choosing to daisy chain through the outdoor node, and that results in...

Just curious: did you try restoring from a backup after flashing stock and re-flashing Voxel's firmware? How did it go?

Honestly I've never even checked whether this happens on stock. And yes, to fix it I had to: 1. flash stock (to all nodes) 2. factory reset (not available in Voxel and I once soft-bricked my router trying it which I thankfully recovered with TFTP after some sweating) 3. flash Voxel (again, to...

Yeah, I thought it was weird, too. I manually flashed 2.5.1.16 and the issue persisted until a factory reset. Then I re-paired the satellites (two RBS50, one RBS50Y), flashed 9.2.5.1.19 to the RB[RS]50 devices, manually reconfigured everything, and it's all working fine again. Unfortunately...

I just updated from 9.2.5.1.17 to 9.2.5.1.19, and my throughput on both wifi and physically cabled into the router has dropped dramatically -- say ~250Mpbs with a cable on my 1Gbps connection. This happened in the past on earlier Voxel firmwares and I fixed it by flashing stock (though not...

Thanks, that's exactly what I was intending to try. When I do, I'll update here in case there's interest in how it plays out.

Thanks. What's the advice regarding a mixed setup: Voxel's firmware on the router and some satellites, stock firmware on an RBS50Y?

Has anyone flashed the Orbi Outdoor Satellite (RBS50Y) with Voxel's firmware? Is this a supported device? Thanks!

Thank you! I should have downloaded and expanded the zip :(

Sorry for the naive question, but there are no explicit instructions in the voxel-firmware README or on this thread: what is the proper upgrade path for an RBK50 and its satellites? I presume it's something like: factory reset via web interface flash RBK50-V9.2.5.1.11SF-HW to router flash...

I'm having very similar issues: I've been using Asuswrt Merlin for maybe a year with great results with my RT-N66U, and an upgrade to 376.47 has led to specifically the 5GHz network being unreliable across several Macs, Android devices, and iOS devices. This unreliability shows up as a failure...
