means the manufacturer doesn't list it, which isn't the same as the product lacking it.
OpenWrt
No support found. Checked against OpenWrt's own Table of Hardware, which carries no qualifying row for this model. That is a weaker statement than "this router cannot run OpenWrt" and a much stronger one than silence.
No ToH row for any current Netgear entry. The Netgear models OpenWrt does cover, such as the R7800, are older and none of them are in this lineup.
