GS108 Unmanaged Switch Dropouts

Hi, I have the GS108 unmanaged switch. Router is Google Wifi. ISP is Spectrum Business. The switch is plugged directly into the main Google Wifi node. Then, I'm hardwired out of this switch to a PC and getting intermittent dropouts that last about 30 seconds. I get them probably 5-6 times a day. I notice them most when I'm in a Zoom meeting, but not exclusively.

 

Can someone help me figure out how to stop the dropouts? I never had the issue when I was plugged straight into the Google Wifi node.

 

Thank you!

    Unmanaged switches usually either work fine or not all all. I haven't ever seen them be intermittent because they're not processing anything. 

    Try replacing the cables or checking connections.
