Looks like DD-WRT doesn't support it and OpenWRT only supports the R7900, not my R7900P which another user said cannot be interchanged.

How is the R7900 not EoL if R7900P is? Does that mean there will be no more firmware updates for me at all?

[FURRYe38]

Both are. 

Correct.

May I get a link to the Beta Firmware for the Nighthawk R8000P Please?

Hi @FURRYe38 

Could you send me by PM a link to download this beta firmware that fix this problem?

Router model: R8000P

Thanks

I would appreciate a link to the beta FW for the R8000P. Happy New Year (2024).

Hi!
How could I get the beta firmware fixing the IP cable allocation? It is quite bothersome 😕

thanks!

The BETA seems to have a bug. Dynamic QOS is not working. All device always gets low priority by default and Internet download and upload speed device wise is always 0 even if it is consuming data consistantly.

I have the R7960P.  I just ran into the DHCP Reservation / MAC address bug.  Is there a beta firmware for my router?
@FURRYe38  could you be so kind as to PM me a link, if available. 

Thank you.

Hi @FURRYe38

[Jewrye]

Can you PM me the beta please

Hello @FURRYe38 ,

I have a Nighthawk R8000P and would be interested in the beta release as well. I am not having any luck reserving an IP address with my current version of  V1.4.4.94_1.3.56.

Thank you,

[CSLV69]

Oooooooh .... yes pls.

 @FURRYe38 Sir could you please send a copy of beta FW? Please?....

I am unable to do ANYTHING with DHCP (as I see everyone else is having these exact same issues), more specifically whenever I try to create a reservation, or modify the details of detected devices I receive "invalid mac address" and I have to log back in again as the browser (Chrome on Win 10) then shows the stupid sad face and rain cloud (I cannot begin to communicate how frustrating finding all of these faults has been and continues to be). I am not a beta tester, if I were I'd be getting paid but instead, as a customer (for now) I rely on the manufacturer to have thoroughly and rigorously tested their own products including published firmware updates before sending to market .... at least for everyone but Netgear anyway, aparently.

I also have problems with readyshare DLNA media server settings (not a deal breaker, I was just looking at what it could do since the hardware looked like it should be able to handle the additional workload. Im now thinking I should stick with purpose built devices instead. All-in-one type devices always seem to perform exceptionally poorly.) Never-the-less if you have updated FW that addresses some or even just one of the many short-comings this version of the R8000P AC4000 FW brings along with it, I would be very apreciative.

Thank you sir

Looks like they broke the firmware in October of 2021. Still can't be bothered to fix it over 2.5 years later.

There is a beta for the 7960P and 8000P. 

Take it or leave it. 

The 7900P and 7960P have entered into EoL status. I presume 8000P will be as well at some point. 

So users will need to use them as is, beta or not, or find something else. 

Good Luck.
