    [R7800] Will no longer save settings after reboot.

    Never be embarrassed to learn :)

    [R7800] Will no longer save settings after reboot.

    You need to remove these 2 lines: CODE=bash And /CODE And the brackets around them. These are not part of the script, but tags put by the forum to display some text lines as code.

    [R7800] Will no longer save settings after reboot.

    Here is what is is supposed to do : Each time you reboot, or plug the USB thumbdrive, it does: Checks is /opt/scripts/nvram-utils exists, if not it creates directory /opt/scripts, then copies /mnt/optware/nvram-utils to /opt/scripts/nvram-utils, makes it executable Checks if /nvram_backup...

    Tutorial Adding custom SSID and specific VLAN (for IOT for example)

    Well, it can be quite easy indeed. Just enable the guest wifi and observe how it is set up by netgear (check interfaces/bridges, routes, rules, vlans and firewall, internal switch is likely not involved at all). Then just reproduce it by adapting my code in post #2.

    Tutorial Adding custom SSID and specific VLAN (for IOT for example)

    I am sure it can. Look what I wrote at the end of the first post. The simplified way described in post #2 would need to be stripped of what is not necessary in router mode. Then the routing rules and firewall would have to be setup to do what you want (for example prevent IoT to reach internet...

    Tutorial Adding custom SSID and specific VLAN (for IOT for example)

    Good, seems you have something like that: PORT 0 1 2 3 4 5 NAME CPU (linked to kernel) WAN LAN LAN LAN ? VLAN 1 tagged not member untagged untagged untagged untagged VLAN 2 tagged untagged not member not member not member not member So you definitely could try :) You would have to...

    Tutorial Adding custom SSID and specific VLAN (for IOT for example)

    I suppose in theory it would work, the Wifi chip is QCA9984. After, I don't know about the hardware switch in Orbis, so you would need to check (swconfig) and experiment.

    [R7800] Will no longer save settings after reboot.

    About the Untested (Automate bootfix script): I did not try it, because I don’t have the NVRAM losing conf issue. I experienced the issue with a previous R7800 that was still under warranty, and that is when I developed the nvram-utils tool (with the help of users here like @kamoj). I simply...

    [R7800] Will no longer save settings after reboot.

    Loading the ssh key with the post-mount script is safe. The part to autoload nvram-utils, the boot-fix and the conf can be a bit more tricky if not understood. The code could do more checks to prevent a potential reboot loop (that can be simply stopped by unplugging the thumbdrive). You...

    [R7800] Will no longer save settings after reboot.

    You are correct, anything on the internal drive of the router is wiped out when you do a firmware upgrade, therefore the SSH keys are lost. Please note that the nvram-utils script and its bootfix would be wiped out as well. The trick is to use the USB thumb drive and the post-mount script to...

    [R7800] Will no longer save settings after reboot.

    You are absolutely right, sorry for the lack of precision. To restore from any .cfg backup, you could use the nvram command like this: /bin/nvram restore /nvram_backup However with a deficient NVRAM, after you copied the backup you want to use to /nvram_backup, the best is to install the...

    [R7800] Will no longer save settings after reboot.

    Hello @Footwork, Yes, you absolutely can use the backups in the thumbdrive :) Just reinstall the utility, then copy the .cfg backup you want to restore to the root (with the correct path for you of course): cp /mnt/optware/nvram_backups/YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS/nvram_backup.cfg /nvram_backup And the...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.106SF

    This is likely corrupted NAND memory. I don’t have time to develop now (in bed about to go to sleep). It cannot be repaired, but there is a fix I published here to have your router keep its settings between restart. I will post the link tomorrow unless you can find it before. Look for...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.106SF

    For that part, yes, it is the DNI/Netgear code (from official release) that is the same in Voxel's firmware.
