the OS is really limited ...based their sites, so far the supported product only R1 (their own router) , netgear XR500 and XR700
well i guess its not like dd-wrt or tomato, that open-source
more likely they want licensing model from router maker

Running an R7000 still, but i can tell you it's the first and last Netgear Router i owned once it dies or needs replacement.
It's that there is an alternative Firmware from Xwrt, because the default firmware is HORRIBLE!
