Network Switch GS305 random drop connections

Network Switch GS305 randomly drops connections while on the internet. 

 

This issue was the CAT 5 CABLE.  I switched out with a new cable and BOOM connections back online. Hope this helps someone. 

  • Except of the rare case where an unmanaged switch does break or cause random disconnections, the majority of troubles are coming caused by installation and cabling issues.
