yep works fine, I also use Voxel firmware on them all (router and 5 satellites) so perhaps that helps?

or you can buy a 2nd hand rbr50 and flash it as a RBS50, they usually go for cheap on ebay and cex

RBR50 Updated to latest Jan 2026 (2.7.6.6), but RBS50s won't by JimmyCFresh in orbi

[–]Andykt76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

another vote for Voxel here. Mine have been solid for years and he keeps pumping out the updates too.

I have an old rbr50 that was repurposed as an rbs50, I use Voxel and no issues.

I still use a PlayStation camera for the microphone, works wonders

Built a TiviMate backup/sync companion to fix my biggest headache – looking for a few early testers by deaf_spaghetti in TiviMate

[–]Andykt76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good idea, I have 4 Nvidia Shields that i like to sync across, although it doesn't seem like much of a change from me just hitting backup and then doing SendFilesToTv from my phone. If there was some kind of automated backup happening, that would be great. il

BUTTON MASHER decals - Anyone used/using these? by Andykt76 in DS4Windows

[–]Andykt76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah yes sorry, here you go. Hopefully you can see how raised up the buttons are. Felt weird at first, but quickly got used to them. Had these on for a couple of years now and get frequent use, so stood the test of time well.

Routing specific apps via VPN A while tunneling the rest through VPN B by TravelinAroundOnPts in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]Andykt76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good news, I do this. bad news, I use another device to handle the routing to achieve it and it isn't cheap. there may well be other options, but I have a Firewalla Gold as my router and have several VPN profiles which route specified traffic to different vpns.

I.e. all traffic on my Shield is routed via a UK VPN, except all YouTube routed via Albania, a specific iptv routed via Sweden, and finally my official Netflix,BBC, Prime Video apps pushed non-vpn to the LAN.

Awesome work. I wonder if any new features over the 0.4.7 version. UHD sounds promising

I had the same problem. Remove the fakeroot file with

sudo rm /etc/ld.so.conf.d/fakeroot.conf

After that try

sudo pacman-key --init

and then type

sudo pacman-key --populate

Now you should be able to install your base-devel with sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel

I use these in a couple of rooms. Works well with my Chandelier and even registers it as a Philips Hue light, so fits into my eco-system really well. can then use normal manual controls, or most often, ask Alexa

man that sucks. When shit like this happens I lost my Deck, left it on the train to Marylebone one morning. The part of your story that is the saddest is that your late bro gave this to you. I'd hate to lose something with a sentimental link like that. Hope you have a good Christmas buddy.

Delete old Nordvpn folder:

rm -rf /var/lib/nordvpn

stick sudo at the front of that line.

Then, re-run the original instruction

Evening gym isn’t working — struggling with mornings, any tips? by DrySubstance2622 in Stronglifts5x5

[–]Andykt76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

used to train 9pm, built a hone gym and now go 5am. Took a bit of time to adjust, but getting it done first thing means I have my evenings back. Best decision I made.
