Quick bit of history:
1.) I have FiOS internet and TV service.
2.) I have ethernet coming from my ONT into my own router, and then the Verizon router (Actiontec) is bridged with my router (LAN-to-LAN).
3.) Via this configuration, the Actiontec is doing nothing but providing guide and video on demand data to my set top boxes via MoCA. I don't use it as a router or an AP.
For the longest time, I've had hiccups with video on demand. I get graphical glitches and audio stutters (and only with HD content, interestingly). If I remove my own router and run straight from the ONT into the Actiontec, the issues disappear.
I very recently upgraded from a Linksys WRT320N, to a Netgear R7000, and now my issues have gotten even worse.
The Netgear and Actiontec are sitting on the same shelf in my "wannabe rack" in my basement. After poking around on the dslreports.com forums, it was suggested to move the Actiontec further away from my router.
I'm running both bands on the router. Can the WiFi traffic on the router really be causing interference with the Actiontec and messing up my MoCa network?
I'm thinking about replacing the Actiontec entirely with an ECB2500 (straight up MoCA adapter minus all the router/AP frills that I don't need). I don't want to do this if this interference could be a real possibility. The thing is, I don't really have a whole lot of wiggle room as far as moving the Actiontec (or adapter in the future) much further away from the router.
