    Switch randomly stops connections

    thanks but unfortunately this is just a plug n play switch so no interface. I thought i'd found a foolproof way of recreating the problem but even after a router reboot early today everything was ok this morning. I'll see how it goes and then try another switch for a few days and see if it...

    Switch randomly stops connections

    So I set the deco to acheduled reboot daily, and straight away next morning the qnap switch had stopped working. The light on the port to the router flickered every now and then. The ones to my pc and qnap were solid. I removed the deco and plugged it in and it started flashing quicker. Still...

    Switch randomly stops connections

    Ok so I just lost connections again, all the lights on the qnap switch were flickering as normal, no errors. But I couldn’t ping a few devices. I disconnected the Deco main router from the Qnap switch and plugged it into the tplink 16 port switch and everything came back. So it’s definitely the...

    Switch randomly stops connections

    That’s great thanks a lot. Will have a go next time it stops working. The deco doesn’t give much info , it’s pretty basic to be honest but does the job.

    Switch randomly stops connections

    cables are all fairly new cat5 to cat7 but various specs, maximum 5metres,one is a thin low profile type. I do have a few 15m cables but they go from the main Deco router unit to the mesh units around the house. I would try disconnecting them one by one but its so random. it may go 4 days...

    Troubleshooting home network wifi problems

    thanks, well spent about 4 hours today playing around with it. Discovered a couple of things. my main router speed was being throttled some how, I factory reset and it went from 400Mbs to 900Mbs. I also took two AP and factory reset them too. Even on auto settings ie auto channel everything...

    Troubleshooting home network wifi problems

    ok thanks, yeah im now back running 3 APs and they are all at about 50% power output and am using all the frequencies that allow (upto ch140 on 5ghz) and it does seem better. Not getting websites "stuck" loading and havent had any youtube problems for a few days. Fingers Crossed! Cheers

    Troubleshooting home network wifi problems

    Thanks. I have tried disabling two of the Ap's and to be honest apart from one corner in the back of the house i havent noticed any loss of connection. I have been running pingplotter on my laptop constantly and its definitley helped with the dropouts, probably 50% less than before. The fourth...

    Troubleshooting home network wifi problems

    Ha first paragraph of my question, refreshing websites to make them load and YouTube dropping to low quality or pausing. And also occasionally switching to 4g/5g instead of using wifi. Even though there is good signal. You think removing a couple of access points from the lan will not loose...
