Greetings:
I recently setup a home network using two routers: one for a private network (with file sharing, print sharing, etc.) and the other for a guest network with no shares or access to the private network. The routers are tied together on different floors of a two story home using MoCA.
For reasons unknown, the primary (private) router occasionally drops the internet connection while the secondary router remains rock solid. I'm not even sure how that's possible. They both have static ips with the secondary router's ip being outside of the range of the primary router. The primary router handles DHCP with the secondary being setup as an access point. I have noticed on one of my devices connected to the primary router, authentication errors, but multiple wireless devices on this router lose connectivity. Devices on the secondary router never lose connectivity.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
