Dirty update from v1.0.2.98SF to v1.0.2.99SF via an Ethernet connection with Firefox on Windows 10.

Smooth update with version number, progress bars, and etc. as expected. Did not have to log back into the router after the update. So far so good. :)

@Voxel Thank you!
 
Thanks!

A question, can I just update to this one from within the GUI (I think it's called dirty update) ?
Should I perform factory reset after the update ?
How's the (clean update) be performed ?

I have Kamoj add-on, Voxel V1.0.2.98SF

A "dirty" update is when you update the firmware and DO NOT perform a firmware default reset afterwards.

A "clean" update is when you update the firmware and DO perform a firmware default reset and configuration afterwards.

A firmware update is usually performed from within the graphical user interface (GUI).

The decision to go from a dirty update to a clean update is based on whether or not your router works fine after the firmware update. If you router does not work as expected after a firmware update, a reasonable course of action is to perform a firmware default reset and configure your router from scratch. It is also possible to import a saved configuration file after a firmware default reset. That action runs the risk of importing problems that were in place when the saved configuration was created or of importing a configuration that is not compatible with the current updated firmware.

Then I already did the CLEAN update, reinstalled kamoj addon, reconfigured the router.

Everything is smooth and nice

Thanks
 
Took a chance and dirty flashed R7800 from stock (V1.0.2.90) to Voxel (V1.0.2.99SF) and it seems to work fine. Will check how it goes for a day or two and if there are issues, will configure from scratch as it's a pain.
 
Hi. I'm new to this, I'll win something using voxel firmware and another question, and I realized that online games work better for me without QOS, why? . StreamBoost? or a hidden netgear setup?
