R7800 Speed degrades over a day
Hello everyone. Here's my issue: I bought my R7800 about a year ago, when I saw that they were running fiber in our neighborhood. At that time we had 6Mb DSL and typically got 5Mb at best. As my old ...
Any solution found ? I have a similar issue: speed going down from 150 to 80, after reset, all fine.
Someone recommended using the Voxel firmware (there should be a thread here with the link in it). I tried that and have had no more issues since. It's a very easy change to make, the user interface is the Netgear UI so it doesn't look different, all the controls are in the same places. I have looked into WW-DRT, I think it is, and that looks like a bit more work to install and set up. I would try Voxel first, and if that doesn't work go the WW-DRT route.
Thanks !

Like any communications system it is important to have the system well grounded. If your ONT has a separate ground connection, make sure it is well grounded with copper wire and the connections are tight. Also make sure the AC power is well grounded per local code. The various devices and connecting cables have a tendency to collect a capacitive charge over time and it will interfere with data throughput.
With a cable internet system, the entrance box to the home is where the ground is usually connected to a ground rod and then to the coax shield.
