Wired Lan Disconnects Randomly - Plug/UnPlug Ethernet at Router fixes it
On my second week with the Nighthawk AX12 Router. Have experience this issue 3 times. The Wired Lan connection to the PC through the unmanged switch (TP-LINK TL-SG1024) would disconnect randomly. ...
Hello Jin225,
Welcome to the community! This may sound silly, but have you tried switching out the ethernet cable to see if the issue persists??

- Yes tried that. Have new CAT7 cables.
So just to get this right. you're going:
modem----RAX----switch----pc
is this correct?
What else is connected to the switch? Any of those devices having issues?
If you take the switch out of the equation and direct connect the pc to the RAX, do you still have the issues?
- modem----RAX----switch----pc
That is correct.
I am unsure as to other devices that are wired in through the switch (I have 2 other Android TVs wired in did not check).
But those device that are wired in directly to the routers have IP and works.
Next time this happens I will check.
