Hi I am new here, I already have R7000P router which uses DDWRT firmware, now I am planning to buy new router. i have short listed R8000 and R7800.
I am in a dilemma on which one to buy. R7800 seems to be a good processes and Qualcomm one.
I use 2.4/5GHz and wireguard. I researched through the forums on which one is better, found one where BS has recommended R7800. then this router must be better over R8000.
I have one query, as I am not a linux guy, i am not aware of many command line parameters and uses. does this router has networking tab now in GUI, i need this to setup wireguard setting. rest of the settings i don't use much so its ok. but need switch config & networking tab as i am used to GUI (side effects of being windows users for decades)
i apologize in advance if I offend any Guru here but i got more confused as most results were atleast 2yrs old.

On my Netgear r7800 running:
DD-WRT v3.0-r43171 std (05/16/20)
There are both a Switch Config & a Network tab under setup. _________________ -Tim
