c7100v arp table does not seem to clear with factory reset
The Netgear C7100v arp table does not seem to clear with factory reset. The reason that I say this is the following configuration. The Netgear C7100V modem, Firmware Version V2.01.42 goes to the...
I exchanged the R6400v2 for another router and got the same strangeness out of the C7100V with respect to the gateway IP address. Apparently, something somewhere thinks that 192.168.0.5 should have been the gateway instead of the "3 192.168.0.5" that it displayed when I was using the R6400v2. However, the C7100V seems to be happy with the new router, so that portion seems to have resolved itself.
As for the R6400v2, I rebooted it and reset it several times, previous to installing it where the other router was, and it is also behaving.

As has already been explained, you are connecting two routers. It is nothing to do with strangeness. These tnhings arfe doing what you asked them to do.
Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.
This explains some of the other drawbacks.
