Techdata: NETGEAR D7800

DSL will not work at all on devices with BCM63xx DSL chipset (due to unavailability of FLOSS driver for Broadcom chips). Consider this when choosing a device to buy, or when deciding to flash OpenWrt on your device because it is listed as supported.
See Broadcom DSL, Unsupported: DSL modem and Broadcom BCM63xx for details.

Comments:
1. Since OpenWRT version 24.10, CPU ipq806x has switched to DSA architecture. Hence upgrading from earlier versions to 24.10.x or later requires *complete reset* of router configuration. 2. NSS hardware offloading is only available in custom builds. 3. DSL modem is NOT supported by OpenWrt !
