loss of signal, I think

Netgear CM7000 cable modem

Netgear R7000 router

approx 30' lan cable to GS108PE POE switch

my PC connected to switch

lan cable approx 50' from switch to WAC505 in garage

 

wireless in garage is strong for about 45 minutes then stutters enough to stop music playing from tablet to speakers

re start music app, give everything about 1 minute, all comes back for another 40-45 minutes.

I do notice 5ghz lite on WAC505 goes out temporarily.

when normal, all working, that lite blinks about every 2 seconds.

It is not tablet or music app problem.

 

One other regard: network/wireless in house comes up as (name) and uses a password of course.

Been this way for a couple years.

When I hooked up WAC505 in garage I created another named network with a different password.

Don't think this is the trouble but just saying.

A person on this help forum tried to get me thru a way to make the 2 as one named network.

I created a password just to get WAC505 working and now unsure of what password is, admin/password doesn't do it now.

Might be able to access router but been awhile, unsure of that one too, have wireless password though.

Would like to have the POE switch, modem,router,WAP all on one named network.

    It is not clear what is the issue that you are facing. Please send me the detailed network diagram with issue description.

    Share the detailed logs from the AP UI. You can download from the monitoring page. Send me a google drive link via PM.
