Sony soundbar breaks the connection

loku

New Around Here
Hi,
I'm new here, so please forgive me if I'm missing any important details.
Recently I was re-cabling my setup and I decided to connect my Sony HTNT5 soundbar with my Asus RT-AC66U router (Asuswrt-Merlin 380.70) over ethernet. All went fine and I went to bed. In the morning the internet was down (for all devices). When I disconnect the soundbar, internet is back, when I connect again, it's down. Moreover, when the soudbar is connected I cannot access the device (the "modem", set in bridge mode) from my ISP (as far as I understand it's on a different subnet, when soundbar is not connected I can access it with 192.168.100.1). What fixes the problem is when I reset the soundbar to factory settings and set-up network again. However, the problem comes back the day after. I've looked at the logs from the modem and the router and didn't find anything obvious. Please let me know if what else could I check or if you have an idea what can be the issue.
 
Make sure you don't have the soundbar connected to your network by WiFi and Ethernet cable at the same time.
