Details - 2.4 GHz WiFi does not work on Netgear WNDR3700v5 on any LEDE version up to today.

There is something wrong in the DTS file though. If you look at target/linux/ramips/dts/WNDR3700v5.dts

		factory: partition at f30000 {
			label = "factory";
			reg = ;
			read-only;
		};

		partition at 50000 {
			label = "firmware";
			reg = ;
		};

So firmware partition starts at 0x50000, it's length is 0xfb0000, so it ends at 0x50000 + 0xfb0000 = 0x1000000 > 0xf30000. So it looks like factory partition containing eeprom is completely overwritten (and would probably need to be restored from known good copy even when partition sizes are fixed).
