GC108PP stops switching when traffic become heavier

I have 2 switches GC108PP and 2 GC108P. They are all with newest firmware (1.0.8.2). They are not Insight-managed but Direct Connect Web-browser Interface. Three of them are working fine. OneGC108PP is working only when there is little traffic on it. I installed them in a school, connecting them with several Unifi-APs. Everything is fine till load is increasing (during school). The APs seem fine (correct light on ehem), but there is no traffic on the ports they are connected (e.g. port 2,3 and 5 not working; 1,4,6-8 working fine), even not a MAC-Address on that port. Tried it with several different APs in different locations.

Any clue what can be the problem?

    SigiE,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    Let us try this.  Kindly try to disable/re-enable the ports 2, 3 & 5 on your GC108PP. On the web-GUI, go to Switching > Ports > Port Configuration. Then select ports 2, 3 & 5.  On the Admin Mode menu, select Disable and Apply.  After a few moments, select again ports 2, 3 & 5. Then, on the Admin Mode menu, select Enable and Apply.  Observe if the same problem will occur.
