Got this router from Costco. CPU is different from R7900 - 1.8GHz dual-core processor.
Would be great if it was added to supported devices.
Thank you!

BTW cant find much about this router on the internet. If it has the same radios as the r7000 then it will not work with openwrt or lede. I dont think it ever will!

Wikidevi says it is same hardware as R8000 with a few things taken out.

Do not buy these, because they have Broadcom chips. The R7800 is not Broadcom and has LEDE support.

Finally get the Netgear's GPL R7900P source code compiling, not yet tried on hardware.

Haven't got my R7900P from Costco yet, my order is still in"received" status probably because of the Black Friday.

The discussion might have continued from here.
