What 3rd party firmware are we using these days for the R7800?

I have posted before about issues with Netgear firmware updates.  My other posts list those issue in detail. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/Requests-for-firmware-changes-on-R...

Thanks for replying so quickly.  In prior posts, I was trying to work through the official forum for resolution.  Some had posted that the answer was a 3rd party firmware.  I resisted and gave an answer similar to yours.  Thought I would join the crowd rather than fight it.

I'm not saying don't go with 3rd party firmware. Some have used it (i've tried it) and liked it. I'm just saying you'd have to actually ask on their sites whats currently working the best.
