Thanks Voxel for keep on updating this "old workhorse". To me one of the most stable routers in the market and still going strong !
I was wondering, because of an unexpected firmware update from Netgear itself for this EOL model: https://kb.netgear.com/000066357/R7800-Firmware-Version-1-0-3-92
if they added some new features or else to this, which you maybe can use for your future updates ?

Only a few mystical undocumented vulnerability fixes. But the most critical vulnerabilities are left behind.

Most interesting is the use of 'lighttpd'

https://www.lighttpd.net/

but I don't want to change that in my version for R7800/R9000/R8900, as it would likely kill the add-on from kamoj. Also, NETGEAR uses lighttpd version 1.4.55, which itself is dangerous due to CVEs.

The drivers from QCA have not changed in the latest firmware either. So there is no increase in wifi or ethernet speed.
