ar71xx has been supposed to be replaced by ath79 for quite a long time already. 19.07 is the last release to include the old ar71xx, which is why we made the target source-only after that. As many others, the WNDR3700 v4 has already been ported to ath79, so you would just take the ath79 image then.
