Accidently flashed a Netgear Nighthawk AC2600 R7450 I received today thinking it was a Netgear AC1900 Nighthawk R7000 I originally ordered to dd-wrt it was laughably boxed as a AC1900 R7000 too. From the steps I took recall using this firmware https://dd-wrt.com/support/other-downloads/?path=betas%2F2021%2F06-18-2021-r46974%2Fnetgear-r7450%2F , by luck must have checked the bottom of the router before flashing and read of R7450 then didn't flash with the Ac1900 r7000 firmware, it seems to be working. In the router status page it shows up as a Netgear R6800 and I've attached a screenshot. Is the router supported? I'm not sure if the R7450 firmware I flashed was for the Nighthawk AC2600. Sorry for the confusing post and not realizing I was sent the wrong product, but I find the whole situation hilarious how it played out.

I think you are fine. According to deviwiki https://deviwiki.com/wiki/Netgear_R7450 the R7450 is one of the names Netgear uses for this hardware. The R6700v2 R6800 R6900v2 AC2100 AC2400 are all the same hardware with the same FCC id.
I have another variant, which is the R7200 which is the same circuit board but doesn't have the USB3.0 port populated on the board

Guess I'll keep it and not return it to Amazon, help with dd-wrt testing purposes. Seems to be stable the last few hours.
