Re: Nothing but trouble, frequent disconnects, low speeds, I think I solved most of it, learn how!
I was directed to post this here ... 2 weeks into daily tweaking got me to the point where I was sure it was noise in the line for my Cable Router/Modem so I added 75 ohm coaxial terminator cap...

Yea the extender is the EAX20 the distance between them is 10-15 feet. <So this is tooooo Close. 30 feet is a good starting point between main host signals and extenders.
I am beyond frustrated. The signal only covers most of the front room, maybe just outside the house on a good day. But can’t reach the second floor office which is on the opposite hallway but same side of the house.
What channels are your neighbors using?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Yet I get all of my neighbors signals, some of them 4-5 houses down the block, everyone’s got basically the same house built at the same time. Yet I’m lucky if Mine goes more than 20-25 feet and I’ve already invested in a $300 router, $130 extender, $50 Moca amp, $10 75 omh caps, $50 subscription to Netgear Armor and 1.2gb internet speed and it totally blows.
Think you need to ensure your system is correctly setup, placed and checked out first before claiming this doesn't work.
I really really tried to make all of this Netgear equipment and services work but it’s just failure after failure, every day a new problem. Time to just face reality. I fell for Netgear’s marketing hype, forked over my money, and all I have to show for it is Netgear saying give us another $79 for additional support and other than cashing the check what are they going to do? Nothing, nothing will continue to work and it’ll just make the whole situation worse than it . If Netgear had a buy back plan … I’d get rid of all of it right now. Go buy something proven to work.
OMG THANK YOU !!!!! Finally somone with actual answers!
I firmly believe Comcast is the biggest evil in the universe, and I do believe they purposely place the router into: /IvP6 provisiong: Status: HDD Honor/, Comments: IvP6 only/ to limit your abilty to keep things below 1gbs on DOCSIS 3.0 unless you have one of their devices. Did I mention I hate them? They are trying to tell me that the IvP6 provisioning has nothing to do with it, and they it only means that this is how they are communicating with the device. Yet my device is getting an IvP4 adress and IvP6 address (after turning Armor back on, IPv6 to autoconfig, prior to that everything was 0.0.0.0) and when I had thier XB7 I was able to get speeds upto 1100 as I have the 1.2Gbs tier on my account. <- thats why I feel I am being provision to the HDD realm because my speed tier, their excuse is because they claim the router will not hit 1Gbs speed. On my computer I get 949.9 like clock work, BUT on my Xbox Series X with a Cat5e cable I was able to hit 1097 last night, don't know how, maybe it was an incorrect reading?
I believe I am only being allowed to use DOCSIS 3.0 based on:
My router is using 256 QAM not 1024 QAM
I only have 31 bonded channels not 32
only 5 downstream channels not the 6 (or 8?)
and no OFDMA channels
My theory is that they want me in IvP6 HDD because they will be able to monitor what devices I have, for example (insert huge long story of them blocking my devices) blah blah, bougth a AX 1800 4 Stream Netgear Extender, blah blah, blocked, They said you need to upgrade from the XB6 to the XB7 so I did, connected the Ext, and that worked flawlessly for almost a month and then they started blocking it and repeat. They promised me a million times, we have the issue solved, it wont happen again yada yada ... but it always did.
I gave them all of thier stuff back, said thanks for nothing, dropped a bunch of services and got the CAX30 thinking this will be the end of my woes, Wrong again, (but I am getting closer to victory.). I'm convinced by the IvP6 is keeping me from being able to use the OFDMA channels, which is not allowing my Ext and Router to talk like they should when they even do, and that's my current number 1 problem! Now if the router and the Ext could communicate effectively I should be able to seemlessly roam with a device between the two signals and switching between them without me being able to notice correct? Like one would with cell phone towers?
By keeping me in IvP6 hell they can keep me from using the OFDMA channels blocking that ability, the only way around that seems to be by investing more money into an even better system that would (assumingly) prevent that from happening (like a 2.5Gbs port). Of course that equipment doesn't come cheap and if your forced to buy something super expensive that will negate the number one selling point of owning your own euipment and diswade people from going that route, continuing to rent/ buy from them, totally intentional on their part.
Now if Netgear is promoting a product as being able to do all these wonderful things while at the same time knowing that a huge provider like Comcast is throttling their products speeds by IvP6 provisioning, and preventing people from using all these wonderful options, requiring a Armor subscription for the maximum limit Comcast is willing to allow the unit to use, doesn't that make them just as bad?
I need to find a way to get my status from IvP6 HDD Honor to DOCSIS 3.1 and I'm positive all of these problems would be resolved.
I've got the noise on my line dialed in as best I can and these results look to me like this is not the issue:
