When I look for a newer version for my Netgear R7000P II see there are R8000 bin files in the R7000P folders. Has anyone tried them ?? Are they compatible?? I am reluctant to flash it without knowing it is intentional.

Thanks

Kong always tests all his builds prior to release so they are usually good. But you can always use his regular builds (one directory level up) and/or see the build thread for success.

I do think that BS uses the R8000 for the R7000P: https://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Netgear_R7000P
