Mine arrives in an hour
Will let you know how it performs )))
Are you just going to sell on the D6400? Mine is due to arrive on Wednesday I believe.
I honestly think you will love yours, yeah but there are always people who are unimpressed with stuff, a dragon could fly over there house and **** money and rainbows and they would find fault
Hahahaha well put. That made me chuckle.
All I need it for is for decent range like the AC68U, The use of VPN and stable modem. I don't need VOIP or heaps of other stuff. If it can deal with what I want then I'll be pleased.
So do you prefer it to your D6400? As long as you are happy with it.
The other owner on kitz said it feels rather cheap, plastic ports compared to metal on the R7000, less of a heatsink inside the unit (different chip so probably doesn't require such a big heat sink)

Not 100% sure yet but all the Voip options etc were mentioned. I think it will be a hefty price. It is an AC2*** router with a modem most likely broadcom so don't expect it to be cheap.
I think this device does fit my needs, Thats why I was pretty excited for its release. If it is stable, It provides the distance and provides a stable vpn then the device is a success in my eyes.
Mine should also be here tomorrow. Just remember to update the firmware to the latest one as in the release notes it mentioned something about IPTV support.
I may need get time to play about with it until Thursday though but will have a look in the menus when I get a chance.

Ricke, Have you read through the manual searching for IPTV stuff? Plenty tags on it and it appears there are drop down selection points for IPTV in the internet setup menus. Or look at page 215.

I think broadcom chips are more known for stability rather than speed.
Using an Asus, I can tell you that I got a sync of 68Mb and a fluctuating SNR of between 6 and 3.5dB. Adjusting settings to get my speed back to around 72Mb took in a fair few thousand CRC errors and around 5 million FEC's
Using the Netgear D6400
I had a solid 7.5db SNR, My max speed of 74Mb was back, 2 CRC's and approx 500,000 FEC's.
It is clear that a Broadcom chip based modem is much more happier on my line.

So you have a cat 6 cable coming from port 4 on the D7000 going to a switch then off to your different devices?
From my understanding on IPTV, I would have thought you would have had to run directly to the youview box then another cable from port 3 to feed the network switch? I could however be totally wrong there. That is just how I understand it. Have you tried directly feeding it? Latest firmware installed?
