update firmware

I would like to get some advice on which firmware update would be the best for the Netgear R7000 router. I contacted Netgear and they have no plans to make new firmware for the Netgear R7000. I am wanting to find out what features and performance increase I would get.

I am looking for a openvpn client/server built in,vpn, and customizable hotspot.  The co-op mode would be nice and beamforming. I would like most of the same things as Netgear firmware but better performance and options.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks!

These features are included

These features are included in DD-WRT firmware. You can use DD-WRT firmware for your router.

What firmware update would I use to update my router. I know I have to install initial first then the update. I am not Linux literature.(noob).lol
There is a JavaScript to block surveys, can I add that very easily. It is used mostly in the browser but if I can add it to the router it would be great.
