RBR50 shutting down LAN wired ports
Hi, My setup has been working for months like this and only last weekend i have started to see problems. My internet is connected to the router of the provider who passes it through to the RBR...
The Powerline adapters arrived and are currently working - fingers crossed it stays that way. I can always play around with the Moca's later to see if they are somehow faulty.
I've been having the exact same issue for about the same exact time frame. I do not own anything MoCA related, but this has been driving me crazy.
My system consists of a RBR50 at one end of my place, with an 8-port unmanaged switch behind it. That switch is wired with Cat6 ethernet cable to a RBS50 at the other end which has another 8-port unmanaged switch behind it. This has worked perfectly for literally 2 years until about a week ago.
I've tried every firmware branch. I was originally on 2.5.2.4, but I've tried 2.5.1.16, 2.6.1.40, 2.7.0.70, 2.7.1.60, and now also 2.7.2.102. I've even tried the Voxel firmware. And before anyone asks, I have factory reset on most of these, which has been a real pain in the butt.
I've also swapped out both switches. Didn't fix it.
The only thing I can think of is that it maybe seems to be tied to either my Philips Hue Bridge (v2, the square one) or my Samsung SmartThings Hub (also v2). It might be a placebo but it feels more stable when I disconnect both of those. Is there any chance the OP has either of those as well?
Hi!
I also have a hue bridge v2 and a unmanaged switch.
Though i never suspected them of being part of the problem.
