What do you hope to achieve you can’t do with the standard VLAN capabilities? The answer to go from V2 to V1 is “No”. They slightly differ in hardware. That’s why this thread exists.

Cool you made the next step! I moved houses, had less spare time and most admit I lost interest a bit after I "solved" the initial problem. I dropped the ball, but very nice someone picked it up and ran with it. Kuddos to you!

I’m hesitant to share it as I have not tested it thoroughly. If you’re comfortable with tftp or jtag and willing to experiment sent me a DM

Done! :cool: Successfully created a near stock firmware that converts a RBR50v2 into an RBS50v2. Basic steps - Download firmware-mod-kit - Extract RBS firmware - Modify dni_project.sh to overwrite (almost) all code blocks like below with corresponding RBS values - Make sure that the partition...

That's great! I've been looking to do the same with the RBR50 firmware. Definitely going to check this out.

Yes! I've found that as well. I also found Voxel's Github which has the source for his custom firmware. I haven't been able to compile that successfully yet. Makefile:39: toolchain/Makefile: No such file or directory make[3]: *** No rule to make target 'toolchain/Makefile'. Stop. Collecting...

I have not figured that out yet The problem is persistence (and my limited knowledge of Linux). (Almost) the whole system is written at boot. I know of one way to change/add something and that's by abusing bitdefender. It's explained on this forum thread Hack Netgear Orbi to make it release...

I'm now trying a different path. It seems the router firmware has all the elements on board of the satellite and that during boot is determined whether it should act as router or satellite. This idea is support by the existence of the document /tmp/orbi_type and the subsequent checking of its...

I've experimented and bricked the v2 multiple times and had to restore it via the JTAG. Unfortunately no luck. Feels like https://xkcd.com/979/

Is it possible to convert a RBR50v2 to RBS50 with Voxel firmware?
