Wondering that too.
We know the R7900P, R7960P & R8000P use exactly the same firmware file, however from what I can tell the R7900P and R8000P are at EOL, while the R7960P is not.
The buggy 1.4.4.94 firmware was released almost a year ago (Oct '22) and the best we have is a beta release to address its issues (thanks for at least that). But as others point out, even the beta has some issues too.
Will we ever get an official new firmware or are we just dead in the water? I've searched high/low for open firmware and the best I can find is OPENWRT for an R8000P however folks complained of no wi-fi, only wired. I tired to flash mine, but could not get the TTL interface to work.
Oh I wish any open firmware was an option for us.
No thanks, I already have the beta version. It was more a question if: Is an unreleased beta from almost a year ago, going to be the last firmware for this group of routers.
Don't know. Will ask about it.
BUMP
May I have the beta plz for 7960p
Can I get the beta? On a R7900P
Unfortunately NG didn't put forth a beta for the R7900P since it went EoL service. Only thing that you can do is to revert back to an older version of FW that works or find some 3rd party FW like DD-WRT or OpenWRT FW to put on the R7900P.
Good Luck.
