I read through these topics but nothing new to try or any solutions provided. I did buy a different netgear router to see if that fixes the problem, and it does. I unplugged the R6700 and plugged in the R6230, restarted the modem and the R6230 works fine. My working hypothesis is that the R6700 is too "smart" for it's own good!
