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

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
I have not see any issues with my R7800 not being able to find the internet connection from my modems. Mines on stock latest v.90 FW as well.

I tried all of the above, years ago. Multiple times. Obviously, I was not on 90. But each time I tried it, I was on the most recent firmware. I have previously had ISP replace modem with a new-in-box modem.
I have given up on solving the issue. Just trying to find out what other users who have the same problems that I do, use for 4rd party firmware. I appreciate your replies but I do not want to go down that hole again. Thanks again.
