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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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

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

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...

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...

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.

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...
