Smooth update to 115, thanks Voxel!

Thanks Voxel! Update installed and performing well.

Thank you Voxel! Smooth update from 110. Working well. Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays!

Thanks for sharing this. There is dedicated thread on this topic already, so let's please discuss it there: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/new-official-r7800-firmware.92165/

Interesting. They sure don't make it easy to figure out what specific security issues were addressed. The release notes just point here: https://www.netgear.com/about/security/ Which seems to be a long list of security updates for all products. There is no option to filter by product that I...

Cool, thanks for pointing that out! That also seems to run the test directly on the router, and gives similar results to the Nighthawk app.

I'm sure this is old news to many of the folks around here, but I have found that the Netgear Nightawk phone app is useful for testing the speed of my internet connection. If you have a fast internet connection, then speed tests that are run from wifi-connected devices may not show the full...

Thanks Voxel! Updated from 109 to 110, no issues, everything working smoothly.

Thanks Voxel, your continued work is greatly appreciated! I am running 109SF successfully, but this update didn't go as smoothly as usual for me. In the past I have been able to update firmware without doing anything else, but not this time. I use my R7800 in router mode with a fairly simple...

Thanks Voxel! It's working great for me too.

Hi Voxel. Thank you for your continued support of the R7800, it is greatly appreciated! Brief success story: I had moved, and out of sheer laziness was using an ISP-supplied modem/router combo unit for a while. It generally gave good wifi speeds, but was less reliable and had less range than...

My understanding is this: NVRAM settings persist through reboots and firmware upgrades. There is no need to redo them when the router is rebooted or updated. The other optimization commands discussed in this thread need to be reapplied after a firmware upgrade, but not after a reboot.

Thank you very much!

@Voxel Have you considered disabling the amazon service in your firmware?

It seems unnecessary, and even potentially harmful, to update the nvram settings at every bootup. The nvram settings survive through reboots and firmware updates, so I think they only need to redone after a factory reset.
