I have a Netgear R6120, which is a MT7628A and I need help to identify which version to download. Is it not supported or is there one that will support this router?

Gargoyle doesn't support ramips mt76x8.
It should be possible to support if someone wanted to go to the effort.

No one has done anything with mt76x8, or if they have they haven't sent it for review.

I have built and successfully smoke tested a MT7628 image for a gl.Inet Mango (MT300Nv2). The config included the R6120 as that seemed to be the only other supported device with 16MB of flash (all the others are only 8MB flash) but I can't test it. I don't have much hosting space available at the moment, but could put up the sysupgrade image for you if you get OpenWrt 19.07.8 installed on it (you'd then use OpenWrt's upgrade facility to install the Gargoyle sysupgrade image). I'm also happy to make available the target definition I used if you want to try building an image yourself from that. Contact me by PM if you want to try this, but keep in mind that I can't promise continued builds or much support and it may never make it to be project supported.

Downside of the MT7628 is 100Mbit ethernet ports...
I've uploaded my target definitions:
gargoyle_mt76x8_targets.7z.
There are target definitions for both 16MB and 8MB flash devices as separate profiles. The differences (other than specific device requirements) are only in which plug-ins are built into the images (with 16MB the Mango and R6120 have similar plug-ins to most of the other larger flash devices; the others are pretty spartan).
I'm actually writing this via the Mango with the image generated from the 16MB profile with gargoyle head at commit 6326b831 using the included build.sh script (tweaked to pick up OpenWrt 19.07.8 which is a few commits ahead of the OpenWrt commit in gargoyle head's build.sh as I write this).
