thanks degrub. I poked around but couldn't find on this site - but have read a lot of other "tutorials" out there. And I've had to reset the switch to factory defaults 3 times so far because I didn't think through (or understand) the consequences. For example, I changed the two ports going to...

Just to close on this, I replaced the "guest switch" with a managed switch and the APs are stable. I suspect it was some sort of loop, as suggested, caused by a very cheap consumer switch. Thanksnfor your help!

Good & valid questions. I want to achieve isolation of guest and iot devices from my main network and from each other. This works with separated physical networks like I have now, but I have an issue with what I think is being caused by a cheap "guest switch" that's possibly causing an loop (as...

Hi, I've been coming here for years, but never had enough knowledge to help, and never had a need. Now, I hope that someone here will be able to help. This is long. No screen shots yet, as hopefully you can tell me what you need to see... I've been trying to learn about routing, but I think I'm...

having been through this recently - try turning off QOS if it's on - should make a difference.
