Build for Netgear R7800

Yep, that's what I'm using, sorry for not mentioning it earlier.

Hi I am new here and am looking into flashing openwrt on my 7800. One of the main features I am most interested in adding is per device usage monitoring as this is not available in the base nighthawk app. Is that something that is available in this build? I tried searching the thread but did not see anything that suggested it did.

I'm planning to resurrect my R7800 for a family member and currently it has this installed.

Is it possible to upgrade to the latest firmware wihout a reset?

Which build do you all recommend as I haven't been following this thread for a while? Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

No, 24.10 and up have migrated to DSA, this requires a reset.

No.
Or at least you need to sysupgrade without /etc/config/network , system (and sqm if you use that).
I have been jumping from/to 23.05 to/from 24.10 (and master) by just eliminating those three files. See

Thanks. Is the master build good and I will start with a reset to make things clean?

Specifically, this one? https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/16p7qk85j7gm92me98tlj/ACrDtuI8oS85WwydnhBeiO0/main-r29772-1df56d02cf-20250525/R7800-main-r29772-1df56d02cf-20250525-2205-sysupgrade.bin?rlkey=2rah1q0kib5hhf9lxngzo8qhm&dl=0

Yeah, master is ok.
The newest master build's sysupgrade image. (I currently build R7800 only 1-2 times per month)
