Yeah, really cool device. adri@ use device with AR7161 with nice
results, but w/o zrouter :)
But we already have basic support for AR7161, thanks to Luiz.

So what do need to start:
1. read http://zrouter.org/projects/zrouter/wiki/QuickStart
2. copy 
	mkdir boards/Netgear/WNDR3700v2
	cp -r boards/Ubiquiti/RSPRO boards/Netgear/WNDR3700v2
3. tune board.mk and board.hints in it
4. try to build :)

Here many questions that i must answer, but steps above is good
starting point.

Welcome to zrouter.org!
