R7000 dropping all static route packets
Hello, I have two routers in my network connected to one another. When I set a static route from my first router (R6400 with DD-WRT) to the second one (R7000 with stock OS), the second router (...
I fixed the issue by flashing Xwrt-vortex, a custom firmware that supports NAT from other subnets.
In the end, the culprit was the NETGEAR firmware. There were no issues in routing.
Really disappointed in NETGEAR firmware and it's support.
I won't be buying NETGEAR as my next router.
You're violating both license and copyrights by installing XWRT, which is an illegal fork of RMerlin. Better load FreshTomato instead

I wish I could microchip8 .The Xwrt-Vortex is the only one which supports hardware accelatration.
The other firmwares do not support hardware accelaration and drops down my WiFi signal strength by 30%. And I need the extra signal strength to cover all rooms.
I know, the Xwrt-Vortex is not even open source, nobody knows what he might be running. There might even be backdoors.
But I don't have a choice. Either I lose WiFi signal in two rooms or I lose the ability to NAT other subnets if I use NETGEAR firmware.
I feel like I was thrown under the bus here by NETGEAR.
