1. Does this device support dd-wrt firmware? --- Yes
2. What is the typical cycle time that Netware will support this device with firmware?
The firmware is fairly mature now and there are actually not that many problems with the firmware. The R7000 appears to be one of NetGear's most popular routers. I would expect firmware support to be supported for several more years given the number in use and the number being sold.
Yes, DD-WRT supports the R7000.
Support and release of new firmware I don't think NG runs on a time schedule. It is both fixes severity and new exploits discovered and fixed that must be fixed that determine when a release is made as the router has been out for a few years now.
