Performance
As of 2014, the Netgear R7000 is one of the fastest (in CPU terms) consumer-
grade routers available with support for DD-WRT; the firmware is stable and
there is a growing user base. As a replacement for older/smaller builds of
DD-WRT on older/slower hardware, it performs very well and offers a good set
of features over and above the standard DD-WRT offering. The dual core CPU
is useful if you're running additional services on the router.
Whilst the router is fast, potential users should be aware that IPv4 NAT
routing throughput tops out at 450Mbit on latest Netgear stock firmware, and
at 360Mbit on DD-WRT with default configuration (no overclocking), or
425Mbit with a 20% overclock.
Users with 500Mbit or 1Gbit connections (yes, Romania, this means you)
should be aware that the R7000 will not give you the full line speed you'll
get from your modem, at least not with IPv4 and NAT. It works well for
100Mbit - 300Mbit connections (and this is the typical use case for it);
below about 50Mbit or above about 500Mbit, it will offer poor value and may
not be the best router for those requirements.
The difference in throughput between DD-WRT and the Netgear firmware is that
the latter uses hardware acceleration for simple NAT, which is proprietary
and therefore unavailable in DD-WRT. DD-WRT performs the same and better
functionality in software, but with a speed penalty. This can be partially
mitigated by overclocking and/or by using IPv6 and doing away with NAT, but,
the bottom line is that whilst this is a powerful router, there are already
some consumer Internet connections that it cannot fully utilise.
