Nighthawk AC1900 R7000 Questions
I have to upgrade my home wifi ap/router due to lack of firm ware updates and I am interested in puchasing this one. However I have few questions. 1. Does this device support dd-wrt fi...
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.

Hmmm...I tried to search under the DD-WRT using the following terms: Nighthawk and R7000
Wasn't able to find it.
I just want to make sure I can fall back to a 3rd party for firmeware if the Netgear doesn't put out firmware for it in the future.
thanks

I've never tried it, this is just a link. You'll need to create an account there to download.
I was searching this site originally:
Didn't realize that Netgear had its own open source community.
thanks
