Open Source Firmware for NETGEAR Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR300 AC1750

I'm struggling to find Open Source Firmware for the above router.

Is there anything available outside of Netgear's official releases?  If no, could someone tell me why not?

In addition, my XR300's DHCP services seem to be failing.  It is no longer receiving IPs from my ISP/XFinity gateway nor is it assigning them to the devices on my internal network.  I've tried all the usual troubleshooting (i.e. restarting, factory reset, official firmare upgrades, etc. etc).  Nothing seems to work.  Any thoughts on what to try next would be much appreciated.

Finally, I have purchased a replacement NETGEAR Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR1000 AX5400.  Before I invest a lot of time configuring it, I'm wondering what recommendations someone might have for a router that does support Open Source Firmware with similiar capabilities of this hardware, etc.

Many thanks in advance.
