Nighthawk C7800 keeps not recognizing network switch
I have my C7800 hooked up to a Trendnet TEG-S24Dg switch about 3 times over the last couple of months all my network connections would have no internet access (I use an AP and not onboard WiFi). It would be down up to a week the last time and then just come back up. I was out of town the last time when it was down for the week and switched the switch with a spare TP-Link TL-SG116 thinking the switch was bad as every time this happened I could connect a cable to the router and get internet. When I change switches I am able to get everything to connect again. Today it happened again all my devices just randomly drop off. I connected my computer to the router and logged into the router, only my connected computer shows up as a connected device. I again switch routers this time to a NetGear GS205 and boom and able to connect devices to it. When the cable is connected to the switch I still get my green activity lights even though I can't connect to anything. I have had this setup running without issues for about 1.5 years and all these issues have been over the last couple of months. Current Firmware Version V6.01.07.
