And it's still not passing the data to the TV?
Have you tried a dedicated external switch of of the ISP Modem instead of the router and see if this works?

If I understand you correctly, that's essentially the workaround that I am using, albeit thru the Netgear as switch.  With the TV signals passing thru the 655, I consistently have the problem.  With the Netgear set up as switch handling the TVs and the 655 hooked into one of its ports to provide a WAP, everything works.  It's just the need to have the additional switch that bothers me - especially because the old switch is not gigabit-capable and the 655 is.

I understand that...just be aware that some of these routers and the back end switches are not totally independent as in a external dedicated switch. I have noticed that there is some router processing attached to the ports even when used in a switch or AP mode, the router seems to still have control over the ports. So I would recommend trying a external dedicated switch as a better alternative. There are lots of switches that are GB and fairly cheap now days. Sometimes this is a better alternative that helps with the headaches.
