Lost connection may by storm broadcast

Hi,

 

I have 4 switches , tow gs305E and two GS308E, 

I have also a Mesh network and when this network is on AP mode I have problems with my Router because sometimes become restarted and lose the connection, like A blocked problem.

 

Somebody form the Mobile company recommend me to change alll my switches with a IGMP Snooping, because I have multicast traffic.

 

This feature is already applied in all my switches but I don't know What is happen in my network to have this problems

 

It´s seems a storm broadcast.

 

Please, could you help me to confirm that my switches configuration it's correct to filter and avoid this problems?

 

Thanks

    ...and what Mesh system please (Make and model)?

     

    How is everything connected - router, Mesh APs, and how is the mobile company involved....?

     

    Meanwhile I've requested moving this post to the Plus And Smart Switches Forum section since these are not Pro AV over IP Switch models..

        This does still not answer on how everything is connected.

         

        Does this wonderful Mesh system allow adding a wired backhaul, probably connecting all Mesh boxes over the wired network?

         

        Spanning tree (STP, RSTP) comes into my mind, or the configuration of loop prevention. 

         

        This unknown (to me) Mesh system is not the only loosing the WiFi Mesh if switches are connected.
