RAX80 randomly disconnects LAN cable
During random times on my router drops connection to LAN cables. My PS4 says LAN cable disconnected and sometimes the same to my pc. It only happens for a few seconds. I tried different cables and al...
One thing I am very curious about is if anyone got a replacement router of the same model and if this replacement manifests the issue. I suspect that all units are defective and because the router is expensive a few people got it and of those who got it some are using wireless only, others thought the drops are related to the internet and so on.
I've grabbed 4 replacements from (B&H, Amazon [sent the CANADA vz.] and Walmart) same exact issue constant lan drops, supprisingly I've gotten the Wi-Fi to stay super-fast, solid and stable but the LAN JESUS!!! my PS5 constantly drops connections mid games. The only difference I see in the replacements is the new ones have the fan removed and are a bit lighter in color. The LAN drops are less frequent but they are there nonetheless. I've tried a switch but its the same difference since, the switch must go MODEM > ROUTER > SWITCH. At this point since most of my devices are WIFI conncected I only run the PS5 via LAN, I was considering keeping the RAX80 if there was a way to make it so the SWITCH feeds the ROUTER.
Ultimately if I keep getting drops ill just have to revert back to my WRT3200ACM, God why did I leave Linksys (loyal for decades) for this Star Wars Imperial Shuttle.
