One option for people is there's a ton of 3rd party firmware for the r7000 if you do a little looking. You won't find it on the official forums though

It resolved my problems and I don't care about the warranty or repair considering if it does break (hardware-wise) ill just buy another router. In fact, do you have any recommendations for a router that could be an upgrade?
R7000I'm a fan of the R7800 but its an AC device and not AX. If you've got the R7000 back and running well, I'd hold off for a period for gen. 2 of AX routers. The first generation of a new spec is always a bit shaddy.

Is the gaming-line, the ones with dumaOS worth spending the extra money on? Heard its good though.
