Nighthawk R7000 vs R8000

Roger. FYI, I am very sceptical person :D

Does anyone know if the tomato firmware for r7000 works on r8000?

Well i just pulled the trigger on the R7000. Usually i go for the latest and greatest but it sounds like the R8000 still has some bugs to work out and the R7000 more then meets my needs. :)

hello
chatting with supporting teams about 7000/7500/8000, it have appeared that regarding to the number of bands, a tri-band router would have a better ability to route messages between a higher number of connected users (approximatly 20users per band.)

So a tri-band router like R8000 would be able to support 60 connected devices instead of 40 max with a bi band.

From Europa/France/paris, I had issue to get a R8000, waiting for one within 10 days.
As example, support-chat advice me that for my network with:
- DG2200M used as backuped modem (adsl/3G-4G)
- DGND4000 head of LAN and DHCP server
* direct access for admin
* R8000 : professionnal use with 4 other smart and manageable switches
*WG602 game use
* GS110T and 2 other smart and manageable switches
R7000 or R7500 would be too weak to handle users (total connected devices : more than 40 among 70 devices and 110 IP)

As of today they are bought but not there so I cannot confirm advice or give more return from experience.

Shibby does not support the r8000. He is the one doing most of the mods these days. Victek has not done anything for several months and Toastman has never supported the ARM fouters.

Forgot to say that Kong is working on the R8000 for DD-WRT. His is not ready yet either.
