Coming back to the OP initial post - I would not wonder any second if the C7000 (unknown firmware version) has a problem with the transparent communication (Multicast, Boradcast, ...) within the same wireless and/or between the different WiFi/radio interfaces and/or the GbE LAN ports. Beyond of updating to the current firmware (options might be limited of the Cable Modem is under the Cable ISP management) - this is something Netgear must look into.

As you say, the ISP has to update firmware on that device. Neither the user nor Netgear can do it.
I still think that has nothing to do with this issue.
In all of the talk of resetting various bits and pieces, I see not suggestion of a modem/router reset. That would eliminate any possible "memory issues" on the part of the modem/router. But that too is probably not the issue.
