I think my TP Link TL SG116 unmanaged network switch is going wonkers because when I add an additional Asus AX6600 mesh node to it, the Asus web based GUI topology chart will show other wired backhaul nodes as being disconnected and then re-connect, this cycle will repeat itself constantly, with the up/down times lasting about 15 seconds.
Additionally 1 of the wired nodes is currently feeding off another wired node, the chart will show this, then incorrectly show it's connection as if it was wired directly to the switch, this cycle will repeat itself constantly as well.
If I disconnect the node causing the problem, the system will normalize after 30 seconds or so.
This particular switch has 16 ports, of which 9 are presently in use, so I don't think it's being overtaxed, the metal case is warm, but not hot to the touch. For what it's worth, I've a small fan directed at it which hasn't helped, the chart is still all over the place.
The switch is about 4 years old, should I condemn it? What has been other member's experiences with TP Link switches?
As a side note, I have very little faith in the accuracy in Asus's web based GUI itself, nor the app, I can rename the nodes location, after about 5 seconds it will revert back to "Home", which, I'm assuming is the default location name...
