i think version 7 is not much moddable...i got it and found that it got the atheros chipset when i thought of using third party firmware...so make sure it is not that version...

i checked out the box of version 7 and didnt find version 7 written anywhere as far as i can see but it is printed on the underside of the router

CDFE xxxxx- If this is your first 4 letters, then you have version 7 and it sucks, trust me!
