Hello Kenquick'

 

I would try removing devices one at a time to see which device could be causing the issue first one I would try is the powerline adapter.

Darren,

 

I am trying your advice.  I will report back. Though I dont have a solution to remove the Powerline Adapter. I will try to make it a Static IP, since I am seeing alot of DHCP logging from that device.

 

Has anyone else also seen a lot of DHCP request from Apple devices.  Seems like those devices also cause some problems.  I am trying to see if that causes some concerns.

 

There must be a little better way than remove one device at a time and just wait.  Let me know if you have any other tips.

 

Thanks,
