What actually differs
Both are staples of the OpenWrt/DD-WRT flashing community, and both still ship an actual working default password rather than forcing setup. The WRT3200ACM's official user guide lists admin / admin at myrouter.local (192.168.1.1). The R7000's official KB lists admin / password at routerlogin.net (192.168.1.1) — same gateway IP, different login host and different password.
If you're buying either used specifically to reflash it, log in with the documented default first before assuming you need a factory reset — both routers still commonly arrive on it.
Hold the Reset button 10 seconds until the power LED flashes to restore factory settings.
Go to http://www.routerlogin.net (192.168.1.1) with admin / password. To reset, use a paperclip to hold the Restore Factory Settings button ~7 seconds until the Power LED blinks.
