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.

May I have the beta plz for 7960p - PhycodesNov 18, 2023Aspirant
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.

Remember, there can be a big difference between the R7900 and the R7900P, the one you say you own. These variants can have completely different chips inside.
Whatever you do, do not try to install P firmware on the other version, and vice versa. You could end up with a dead router.

Looks like DD-WRT doesn't support it and OpenWRT only supports the R7900, not my R7900P which another user said cannot be interchanged.
How is the R7900 not EoL if R7900P is? Does that mean there will be no more firmware updates for me at all?

Both are.
Correct.
