Netgear R7800 “hnyman” firmware
OpenWRT-derived firmware for the (venerable but now classic) Netgear R7800 router/AP, which supports high bandwidth rates via hardware offload, with the addition of bufferbloat-defeating SQM traffic shaping (which the stock firmware can’t handle).
Also includes Adblock, wireguard, 6in4/6to4/6rd IPv6 NAT, and the LuCi GUI.
Might have to give this a go if I’m feeling brave…
