I want to install DD-WRT on my Nighthawk R7000. According to the router DB, it doesn't look like it is listed, but looking at the forums, it looks like peopl are using it. So I have a couple of questions.
1. Is the R7000 supported by DD-WRT?
2. If 1. = yes, where would I find the downloads/instructions to flash my router with DD-WRT?
I am new to DD-WRT and have never done it before, so forgive me if this question has been answered before.

1st reset to factory default
2nd flash that file
3rd go to Commands tab under Administration (i think) and issue erase nvram && reboot. This will reset to factory defaults again, in case you can't complete this step, do the regular reset to factory defaults in the UI.
4th read this http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=264152 and new build threads under Broadcom forum section to check for latest releases from Kong and BS.
The version I gave you is not the latest since there is a development of a feature that will accelerate the WAN connection but "could" be a bit unstable. But again, start with this build and then spend hours/days reading to flash a newer build. _________________ R6400v2 (boardID:30) - Kong 36480 running since 03/09/18 - (AP - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7800 - BS 31924 running since 05/26/17 - (AP - OpenVPN Client - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R7000 - BS 30771 running since 12/16/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - OpenVPN Server - Transmission - DDNS - DNSMasq - AdBlocking - QoS) R6250 - BS 29193 running since 03/20/16 - (AP - NAS - FTP - SMB - DNSMasq - AdBlocking)
