It provides two 5 Ghz and one 2.4 Ghz channel at my house. That is probably what is meant by that.
No, unfortunately not.

I have documented the configuration very briefly: Init7 Hybrid 7 Configuration Configure managed switch to VLAN 11. Port 1 for fibre/media converter "tagged" to VID 11. Port 2 to the router (WAN) VID 11 "untagged". Port 1 and 2 must not be assigned to other VLANs. 2. 2. fibre optics with 1460nm wavelength! 3. activate PPPoE and fill in login data.
You still need the bundle. The R8000 does not have a fibre port.
Yes, 980 mbit, not with fibre. Normal cable, no special config.

There are NetgearDDNS, NoIP.com and DynDNS.org to choose from.

I have 6 Devolo Powerline (dLan 500 and DLAN 200) in use together with the R8000. It rarely happens that individual Devolos are no longer visible. Switch them off and plug them back in and everything is fine again. But I don't think it has anything to do with the router.
No, because it does not have a built-in VDSL port. But you can hang it behind the Swisscom router and deactivate the WLAN on the Swisscom device. I'm not sure if there is also a bridge/modem function on the Swisscom device. However, I don't know what it looks like with a fibre-optic connection.
I use two of these Nighthawks. One is a rooter with access point, the second is "only" an access point. I don't know about repeaters.
Unfortunately, I don't have this bandwidth from the "beloved" cablecom. Accordingly, I can never test 1 Gbit. But when I copy data from the PC to the NAS or vice versa, I have values of about 80MB (640Mb). If you consider that I still have normal noise (ping commands) being sent around the whole network, the lab value of 1Gb is almost reached. VW would be happy if their diesel values were only punched like that.
(1) If you ask, you don't need this router. (2) Yes, with DD-WRT.
I recommend that you do not hang this product on a wall because the underside gets relatively warm and the wind is taken out of the sails of the WLAN antenna.

From my experience, the signal strength (3G) is sufficient for acceptable reception through 2 concrete walls. For 4G, about one concrete wall. Storey concrete floor probably one. It's never "too much", because Cablecom is still increasing bandwidths in the future, so the 1GBit LAN is okay.

I measure between 21 and 25 watts.
I don't know the one from Swisscom, but what I can say is that I've never used a better router. Range and speed a hammer
