Nighthawk R7000

Thanks! This looks like the one that will finally retire my Netgear R7000. By god it's been such a workhorse! I've lost track of how many different custom firmwares I've run on it.

I had tomato on my r7000 after the Netgear firmware just straight up stopped enabling the wifi radios. It was solid for ~4 years after that. I only upgraded to get wifi 6. Now I have an rax-80 in AP mode because I upgraded to opnsense as my router. No complaints on the AP mode nighthawk

for this application i, luckily, stumbled on netgear nighthawk r7000 wifi router. one of its features is that instead of router it can act as wireless bridge, using wifi (instead of ethernet cable) to connect to main router. and, being a router, it has 4 ethernet ports. now. this model is pretty old
