NVR Crashing with Netgear Switches
I was testing my Reolink RLN16-410 NVR with a Reolink camera and both a Netgear GS308EP and a GS308EPP. I have two EPP switches. With one of them, everything was working just fine. However, with the EP and the other EPP, the whole system crashes and restarts every minute or two. My suspicion is that the switches are bad because I got the two EPPs from Amazon Resale and the EP from Ebay, but I want to make sure I'm not missing something before I buy replacements. I'm not very familiar with this stuff.

mattat777 hope you don't mind I had moved your post from the unamanged to the Easy Smart, Pluis and Smart Switches section. Under the assumtion, there is no random network loop happening when connecting other devices and/or switches:
While there are not many knonw issues on the GS308EP and the GS308EPP models, to start with, I suggest you to ensure all swiches are operating on the current firmware version.
