Ordered a Nighthawk R7000, which firmware to use?
I wanna note that I don't have the router yet but its on the way in the mail to me. I purchased it to use with my fiber optics connection that is planned to be installed by the end of the year. I c...
AFAIK, there is only one version. My R7000 is over 2 years ago and still going strong.

1.0.4.30 ............If netgear had stopped making FW after it, they would had been better off.
Just got it in the mail, updated to v1.0.7.2. Update went smooth and after doing it i factory reset with the GUI and then once again with the button since I heard its best to factory reset after a firmware update on this router. Weird thing is i wont be using the router until i get my new fiber connection in a month or 2. Don't even wanna waste my time using this on my DSL. lol
I'm still running..1,0.4.30_1.1.67 ...what the router came with.
Its working fine... not sure if I should upgrade to the latest or just leave it alone.
In my opinion NG has NO update after 1.0.4.30 but Xwrt-Vortex does.
Almost forgot You'd better start using it NOW! Because if you find out later it sucks you're stuck with it.
