ar71xx has been supposed to be replaced by ath79 for quite a long time already. 
19.07 is the last release to include the old ar71xx, which is why we made the 
target source-only after that. As many others, the WNDR3700 v4 has already been 
ported to ath79, so you would just take the ath79 image then.

Hi,

because development shifted towards the upstream-approved and device tree
based ath79 target.

The Netgear WNDR-3700-v4 is supported by the ath79 target.

Why is ar71xx no longer going to be supported?

This includes Netgear WNDR-3700-v4 which is a very popular and reliable 
router in the OpenWRT community.

Hi all,

I've sent a few reminders about this topic already, and in yesterday's virtual 
meeting we decided to finally remove the 4.14 kernel support in master _before_ 
branching a 20.xx branch.

Therefore, I announce that the support for 4.14 as well as the following 
targets not updated beyond this version will be removed from master in _two 
weeks_:

ar71xx
at91
ath25
rb532
samsung
uml

The corresponding patchset is already available for illustration here (same 
patches, just two different platforms):
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/staging/adrian.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/remove414
https://github.com/adschm/openwrt/commits/remove414

If somebody wants to upgrade one of the named targets to 5.4 to prevent it from 
being removed, now is your last chance!
