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.

Yes, but it's limited what you can do in the GUI. With SWCONFIG you have full control.

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.
