Looses connection

Hi, I have the EX6200 working in FastLane mode where it connects via 5Ghz to my router (AirPort Extreme last generation) and then using wires I connect some other stuff to it. Well, all this works...

I had this problem and another one--that any time an Ethernet cable was plugged in, the physical connections slowed to impossible speeds (typically 0.1Mbps). I did a lot of troubleshooting before engaging support, and then together we did the whole routine: other firmware versions, factory resets, remove and re-add network adapters on all clients. I've done FastLane/no FastLane.

For now I've got a replacement coming my way. We'll see if that fixes the problem. It's critical for me because the EX is my link to my home office and I have to do some late-night WFH stuff to manager servers and code.

I'm hoping this problem is fixed with a new unit--reading this forum doesn't give me a ton of hope. If it *doesn't* fix the problem, I'll post back here if I learn anything.
