As far as NETGEAR is concerned, we do not recommend the use of 3rd party firmware since it will void its warranty.
We always recommend that you update to the latest firmware version.

Greetings ArronLeeds,
While we cannot recommend you using a third party firmware for your R7000 Nighthawk Router.. If you do, only use DD-WRT Kong Mod found here Netgear R7000 Firmware remember to download the .chk file specific to R7000 model, and make sure to follow this manual for success on the update Firmware Installation Instructions
Thanks for fielding your question, and we hope you have a wonderful day!
