C7800 networking issues
Running c7800 on Comcast... Having some issues.. Wireless clients can't access computers by using //name and have to use local IP addresses.. Wired uses don't have the issue.. Bigger issue, I can'...
I've had the same issue for the past several months. After a power interruption causes the R7800 to reboot, it fails to make a connection to my Comcast/Arris TM822 cable modem. I have to power down the R7800 and physically disconnect the ethernet cable connection to the modem, then power the R7800 back up and reconnect the cable before I can get an ethernet connection. Sometimes I have to repeat the process several times in order to get a connection. The R7800 just started this behavior after the last few firmware updates.
Please post about this here for your model router:

The R7800 is different from the C7800.
You might try Voxels 3rd party FW as well.
I recommend getting into a better ISP modem as well. The Arris TM line is not the greatest modem available.

Good Luck.
