Here's my setup:
Cable modem > NetGear WNR3500L router > NetGear GS108 (8 port gigaswitch) > NetGear GS605 (5 port gigaswitch)
All my wiring is Cat6. One cable from router to GS108. GS108 feeds 3 computers and NAS. GS605 feeds a computer across the room and BluRay player.
Randomly, I will lose all networking. Everything goes down, but according to all the status lights on modem, router and switches, everything is fine. I even lose the mounted NAS shares.
Every time, when I take the GS605 out of the network, connectivity is restored. Almost instantly, other computers will regain internet within 5 seconds of my unplugging the GS605.
Any ideas why this is happening? I've tested all the cables. What should I be trying next?
Thanks!
