I'm so glad I've been playing around with OpenWRT lately. I bought a second router a while back just to experiment with it and now I have automatic fail-over between two ISPs (with mwan3) and WPA2 Enterprise (with FreeRadius).

Needless to say, my Netgear R7000P will soon be decommissioned. I wish it were officially supported on OpenWRT because it's got a good amount of RAM and flash that could have been put to better use.

Looks like the 7000P is supported by DD-WRT if you want something to play with before binning it: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Netgear_R7000P

For the longest time I used my R7000 as a router and NAS with either AsusWRT-Merlin or FreshTomato. They might serve your purpose?

Thoughts on which to choose for R7000? FreshTomato vs DD-WRT vs others?
