Thanks for the information!

Is a modem or a router required by your isp the r7800 is a router how long is the lan cable feeding the router's internet port if a long distance a cat 6 lan cable may help. I believe from the posting you a wireless internet service from what your saying about the internet signal droping in and out it could be you need a stronger signal to the router only going from the posting. any way to run a direct cat 7 lan cable ?
Running Genie by chance?
Thanks for the reply!
Router only. From the PL Injector to the router is about 8', using Cat6 ethernet. No, I am not using Genie. The issue is not the Internet dropping (my WISP has been having hardware and configuration issues) but the fact that the white LED Internet light remains blinking even though on the home page of the R7800, the Internet box is red and says no connection. If I understand how the router is supposed to work is that if the connection drops, the led turns orange.
Many thanks,

Yes the internet turns orange if there is a problem with the internet signal coming in the router but the radio link on the top of your house could keeping a false signal the router that keeps it happy even if there is problem signal in to house . Wireless is a funny thing to get correct as distance and many other things can affect it.
