MR60/MS60 - Ethernet backhaul creates network loop
I have an MR60 router connected to the internet and 2 MS60 satelites connected with an ethernet (cat-6) backhaul. I bought this device at Costco - strange that the model number is not listed in the ...
Hardware Version MR60 Firmware Version V1.0.6.116_2.0.54
This device is connected directly to the Verizion FIOS termination equipment - I returned the Version modem and router.
Everything is CAT-6 cabling although one of them is long - 30FT to get from the garage where the MR60 is located to the satelites in the main house.
There are 2 GS 108T switches in the network.
FIOS <-> MR60 <-> GS108T <-- long cable --> GS108T <-> MS60
At one point I remove the far switch and just connected the MS60 directly to the first switch but that didn't seem to make a difference.
What happens if you remove both switches and set the MS directly connected to the MR?

It sometimes takes a few days or a week for the situation to occur. I can't have my home network offline for that long.
Some of my devices are hard-wired only and without a switch I can not use them.
Also, as there is only one port on each device, it isn't possbile to configure them all without at least 1 switch.
Possible that your switches could be a cause as why to the suggestion.
What Rev version is your GS-108Ts? I see 3 different versions.
