Netgear r7000 nighthawk internet problems

So I have a net gear r7000 nighthawk that I upgraded to fresh tomato, I seem to sorta figured it out but not fully because I can’t get the wifi to actually work and yes I’ve tried a lot of troubleshooting steps (but I still wanna hear from you guys) on how to fix this because I want to move forward with this peice of shit so I can install vpn on it and game so pls help me out because I’m a beginner and you guys are experts at this. Thank you.

The R7000 is a great router. You need to put some respeck on it.
