I can't just yet, I have just bought one off EBAY so was just going to download ahead of time and flash it/ set it up, before plugging it in. 😃

Get it while it's hot. 😉

Got it, Nice one thanks!
I assume it's all good and safe to use?
I had a R7000 not long after they was released, Bought one in 2014, had it for years and regret getting rid of it.
Just hope it holds up to todays online demands.

Just loaded it on my R7000 and running with it now.
I think there maybe some odd issues for wireless bridge mode. I know prior versions, wireless bridge mode would fail after a period of time. I can't test that right now.
It's up and running in router mode for now.

OK, Mine will be in router mode, so all good there.
You can't argue with them speeds can you.
If only i had those speeds. ha

Thank you for verifying this. Much appreciated. I was concerned NG pulled 216 perhaps because it was a hacked version. Just speculation on my part, there's no evidence to support that theory.
I've been running 216 from about a week after it was released back in Feb. Have not had any issues with it thus far.

No hacking here. I think NG recently changed the support WEB ui look and feel and maybe something just got left off the plate. I see now that this version has not returned to the R7000 download web page.
Enjoy.
