The RBR50 is running in AP mode downstairs in the front of the house. I have an RBS50 satellite in one room way in the back of the house, also downstairs. I have a networked printer attached to ...
Darren,
I have not tried another Ethernet cable, but I was using the same Ethernet cable to connect the printer between either the powerline AV1200 and the RBS50 satellite. I think that pretty much rules out the cable. It's a fairly short cable BTW (6f)t. Just checked and it was a CAT5 hooked up to the rightmost port of the satellite.
I will try a different port on the satellite, and different cable also. I hooked it up to the 2nd port from the right on the satellite and just restarted the 2 ping tests.
The problem is not instant as far as reproducibility. It only really shows up in my 24 hour+ ping tests. So far this weekend all has been good.
So far, issue is not reproducible, I suppose that is good news in a way.
