Nighthawk R7000

You can't put an R7000 online on the original firmware without it being almost immediately compromised. That's not hyperbole, that's a fact. If you're not willing to upgrade to something like FreshTomato then walk your ass to the store and get a current-gen supported router. Your whole home network

DD-WRT is okay, the UI is not as nice but has a lot of very low level options and many service options. Doesn't have ipv6 firewall out of the box on R7000. A big problem is it's very unclear what builds are considered stable. IMO Fresh Tomato is much more polished and better for most people. It also

Maybe the power supply is crap, half broken OR you're trying to pull too much power from that port. In my experience with all the Netgear routers I've had, including that one, the best course of action is to assume that those ports have zero power and anything connected to them should be externally

I'm new to Tomato so I'm studying how it may serve me after flashing it to my demoted R6700v3 (close kin to R7000) as a backup so I'm never "one deep" on routers. The horrid bugg

I'll chime in because I haven't seen anyone mention this. We used to have a Netgear Nighthawk router and the 5G would cut out a lot, and it's a common issue.

I’ve learned you have to put Netgear routers on a ups, no if ands or butts. lol simple power surge at your house if your neighborhood goes off will kill it. Ask me how I know. I’ve had nighthawk AC1900 (R7000): Initially released in 2013. Died from power surge no power. X4S (D7800/R7800 series): Rel

Another hour of futzing around and solved it. I happened to combine a reboot of the cable modem with the reboot of the MR80. I had a laptop hardwire connected to the MR80 ... the cable modem and router rebooted, I got a blue status light when the cable modem was finally online (cable modem finished

Archer R7000? Do you mean Netgear Nighthawk R7000? I'm curious because I'm using a Nighthawk R7000 as a wired access point and your note that the 5ghz channel "died" makes me wonder if I need to prepare for that happening with mine as well. Anyway, I agree w/ u/Junior_Resource_608 - another Flint 2 mi
