Home Hub 5 dropping Lan ports

[unixman]

IP conflict? Definitely no duplicated IP addresses on the network. Also no evidence in the client log files (Raspberry Pis) of any network problem.

Running another test now. I swapped out the gs208 switch for another. Also Netgear, this is a gs605 v2. See how it goes...

I don't really have that high an opinion of the HH5 after 1 year of using it, used to drop a lot over wifi which caused issues with the sonos.

I think it is incorrectly pitched as a top end bit of gear.

Many people (not me) reported wifi and broadband drop outs with the HH5, and after about a year BT eventually heaved out a patch, which improved things.

All ISP routers are cheap and noddy I think, and not really suitable for sophisticated/power users, who replace them with Billion or similar. Might go that route.
