    Strange issue with Arris TM1602AP2 and R7800

    Do you have an Xbox connected to an Ethernet port on the R7800? If so, connecting the XBox via Wi-Fi or putting an Ethernet switch between the XBox and the R7800 fixes the problem of the Ethernet ports periodically not working. For some, disabling "Instant On" in the XBox works as well.

    Mesh network with my R7800?

    If you have cable TV coax available, I have had good luck with the MoCA 2.0 bonded ECB6200 network adapters from ActionTech. I use a pair of these to get from the first to the second floor in my home, and I consistently show 920 Mbps down running Speedtest.net to my local ISP. These could also...

    R7800 LAN Issue

    There appears to be an incompatibility between the Xbox One and the R7800 on Ethernet. There are reports of this problem back to 2016. Some users report success in turning off "Instant On" on the Xbox, but this does not work for many. Try connecting the Xbox via Wi-Fi and see if the problem goes...

    Netgear R7800 Wifi limitation with Asus PCE-AC88 Dual AC3100

    I have a 1 Gbps down and 50 Mbps up DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem service and an R7800. Running the Speedtest.net app to the local ISP on an iPhone 8 and a Dell XPS13 (late 2017) at 6:00 am, when I can actually get 1 Gbps down, I routinely get 650 Mbps down on both devices about 10 ft from the router...

    Netgear Firmware Update for X4S R7800 (1.0.2.40)

    I have no good way to run a single stream TCP test to my local ISP. While I can run DSL Reports single stream tests, all of their servers have Round Trip Times (RTT) to my location on the order of 10's of milliseconds with some packet losses reported. Very small amounts of packet loss with...

    Netgear Firmware Update for X4S R7800 (1.0.2.40)

    In addition to the problems listed above, version 1.0.2.40 also suffers from blank response screens when you try to update device information. Like the QoS problem noted above, the changes are not made. While I am pleased that Netgear is finally patching security vulnerabilities on a more...

    R7800 + Netgear GS116E v2 Ethernet Switch Breaks Bonjour

    I recently replaced my Linksys EA6900 with a Netgear R7800. After the replacement, the AppleTV4 connected to a Netgear GS116E v2 Ethernet switch fails to detect the Windows 10 iTunes server, which is also connected to the same switch. The GS116E v2 is the sole connection to the R7800's Ethernet...

    ECB6200 still lose connection?

    I purchased one of the original ECB6200's that suffered from significantly reduced throughput after a week or so of operation. Since the firmware update in mid-September 2015, however, I have had no further problems.

    Client - iPhone 6s WiFi client review

    I am seeing similar results with iPhone 6s and Linksys EA6900 (AC1900): Wi-Fi to WAN - 277 Mbps down/52 Mbps up with Speedtest to local ISP (Suddenlink 1000 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up). In contrast, I get 420 Mbps down with 2x2 intel 7260AC in a recent laptop. 358 Mbps from 2 m using Wi-Fi...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    I have been on the new firmware for nearly four weeks, and there have been no drops in speed.

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    My 6200's have also been fine since I installed the new firmware, which has been two weeks.

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    I received a firmware update via email from Actiontech Tech Support in response to my email via their support page. The installation was smooth, and performance has been good for six days. My problem was a little different from some of those posted here in that it took one week (only two data...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    After one week of operation with the ecb6200s, I had speed in one direction drop to ~14 Mbps. Speed in the other direction dropped from perhaps 825 Mbps to 725 Mbps. Power cycling one device made no difference, but power cycling the other device restored the original performance in both...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    Indeed it does. This is good news. The MoCA 2.0 device is apparently able to get the MoCA 1.0/1.1 devices to move to a 50 MHz segment in the D-Low band, establish a MoCA 2.0 network, and then participate in both MoCA 1.0/1.1 and MoCA 2.0 networks simultaneously.

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    My best guess is that the MoCA 2.0 devices will join your existing MoCA 1.1 network and operate in MoCA 1.1 mode, even when communicating between the two MoCA 2.0 devices. You should probably contact Actiontec to verify this, however. The MoCA 2.0 spec supports having two independent networks...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    Additional latency is about the same, ~3 msec. I get ping times of ~10 msec to the speedtest.net node in town for both MoCA 2.0 models, and about 7 msec on 802.11ac ( should probably measure this connected to router Ethernet, however). The MoCA 2.0 latency spec is the same for the un-bonded and...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    This is the local cable company's new 1 Gbps down and 50 Mbps up service using the new Hitron CDA3-35 (32x8) DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem, which bonds 32 channels together to get the 1 Gbps down. The cable company recently replaced their headend gear with ARRIS E6000's and killed off the analog TV...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    I installed two Actiontec ECB6200's, MoCA 2.0 Bonded device, on the same ~80' of dedicated coax on which the ECB6000's were installed. Download performance on Speedtest.net to my local ISP is 820 to 835 Mbps. -pc

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    The ECB6200s02 looks to be a MoCA 2.0 Bonded device, which means it bonds two 100 MHz channels together. MoCA 2.0 Bonded devices are supposed to provide >800 Mbps of MAC throughput (i.e., twice the throughput of the single channel devices). I wish I had known this was coming out before I...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    Ping's are about 3 msec greater than what I see via Wi-Fi. The MoCA 2.0 spec requires a latency less than 3.6 msec (average) and less 5.1 msec (99.9%). This is almost identical to the MoCA 1.0 spec, and it is less than the MoCA 1.1 spec of 4.5 msec (average) and 7.5 msec (99.9%). One of the...
