What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

 

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

 

You can use Voxels FW on the R7800 as well:

Thanks FURRYe38

Re ISP: ATT (crappy, but no choice) residential gateway that provides Uverse via two bonded pair of copper.  The copper goes to the vault (a short hop) then goes by fiber (I presume MUX).  The RG is: Pace/Arris 5268AC   The RG logs show no uncorreted packet errors or lost packets, with low noise and good signal strength. Also good balance on the pair.  (I know most of the ATT outside wire guys by first name)

Also note that this RG has been working well and relyably with the R7800 since May 2019

Re Reset: Haven't done that yet, but it is on my option list, along with a few forceful hammer blows to the R7800.  The reset will have to wait until I have the time to massage the really poor UI.  I have reserved IP list for lots of stuff, and other settings.

I have a back up of the settings but one thought I had was that there might be a conflict with current firmware and some old setting.  So if go through with a reset I don't want to just reload an old backup settings.  My thinking is that it is better to just go through it page by page.  But that will have to wait until I have the time and my fav shot of Whisky near by.
