R7000 works well - Netflix still hangs
I purchased an R7000 router with a CM500 cable modem combo two days ago to replace an old Motorola one and improve my Netflix network connection to my late model Samsung Smart TV. Installed both ...

Thank you ntwrks and The Ether for your prompt and helpful advice. Upon returning home, I've had to deal with a failing computer and had to get a new Mac and transfer all my apps and files and deal with programs that won't say hello to me until I stroke their ego - will any of us live long enough to get a brain transplant that "thinks tech repairs and computer program reinstallments instead of having to deal with well-meaning but badly trained associates"?
Back to my issue, got the Samsumg TV a few months ago, so that was not an immediate factor, although it may have been a factor demanding more effort from my previous Arris router-modem; I was running everything on TiVo and had no problems with an earlier version of it and a 14 year old Sony TV. Problems started with the TiVo Roamio and the Samsung TV, still on an OTA connection. I will install the Netgear Genie when I get a chance, but meantime I did change the channel to 9, and Holy Mackerel: so far I've had no Netflix interruption for several days! Will also check your other suggestions if necessary.
I'm aware that there are bigger problems in this world than a Netflix transmission interruption, but my wife and I are grateful to the both of you and the entire community of "life users" for helping us take care of this one "life nuisance". "May you thrive and multiply!"

I would feel the same if Netflix was lagging. Can't stand that.
