Netgear R7500V2 ddrt firmware

[clvk07]

Hi I was wondering if it is possible to flash the router with the ddrt firmware which it is available for the r7500 or if it is only for the r7500v1. Thanks

I doubt it would be wise to do so as the 5Ghz chipset in the V1 is from Quantenna and the V2 is a fully Qualcomm device.

Will contact the team at myopenrouter.com and keep you updated

There is only an OpenWRT build available for the R7500v1 (but fairly old now).

Nothing unfortunately on the site for the R7500v2..

Hopefully Kong can get a 7500v2 soon to help support.

The team from www.myopenrouter.com should be able to confirm.

I'll also check with them..

I do not have the link but I believe there is an openwrt firmware release for the X4 R7500 V2. But it was reported that that firmware had some problems. Just curious, why Netgear decided that the R7500 V2 does not support ReadyCloud so USB drive can be accessed on the network? I am running the latest firmware 1.0.2.2.

Per the current schedule, R7800 ReadyCloud support will be added late Q1 (March) and R7500v2 mid to late Q2 (no exact ETA as yet)

Thank you NETGEAR Guy. Looking forward to the new firmware release. Frankly the hardware seems real solid, the firmware is also real good for most functions except for the USB and eSata connectors. There was no need to all the bells and whistles i.e. Media Player, Vault, etc...

Many thanks for the positive feedback...we love bells and whistles!
