Hello all, merry christmas firstly!

On topic, im a new R7800 owner and wanting to update my router to dd-wrt, ive been reading in the forums and seen lots of posts but i have a question if you can spare me 5 mins.

Ive seen a post which says use r37495 as its "all working"

and ive seen in lots of peoples signatures they are using r37900 which is a newer version.

However ive just gone onto the Kong site to download what i need and it makes no reference to what version it is, its just labelled as Netgear R7800.

What version would be most suitable for a family router, dont really need much fancy stuff.

Thank you in advance.

Use the one in Kong test folder:
R7800-factory-to-ddwrt.img 2018-12-22
It will be 38065. It is working great for me and most others. See here for reports about this build.
