Hi, I'm reasonably technical and managed to update my RBK50v2 to Voxel's firmware.
Problem 1 RBR50v2 has no storage
My RBR50v2, per its model, has no USB so has not permanent storage, which makes using the system next to useless if I can't get persistence with Entware, actually the ssh for root is using no password (instead of using the router's password) and I can't persist a password, and I also can't persist turning off the bloatware. I know there's a file location where scripts can be hosted though I'd not be sure there'd be enough space for Entware etc... maybe just for simple scripts? Are there any practical ways around RBR50v2 having no storage (crazy, but can I solder a USB port on somewhere maybe??)
Problem 2 RBS50v1s brick with Voxel
I successfully flashed an RBR50v2 and RBS50v2 but I've got another two RBS50v1s and those simply refuse to flash. One RBS50v1 I managed to recover using the TFTP recovery, tried flashing again with Voxel and another soft brick. My second RBS50v1 seems to be unrecoverable, I've flashed now twice with TFTP and after upload/install is complete I get a red ring.
Is there any "safer" version of Voxel I can otherwise try that's known good for older kits? I've been trying RBS50-V9.2.5.2.39SF-HW.img
For now I'm going back to the Orbi firmware, but if anyone know ways about these problems please LMK! Thanks
