R7800 wifi is working but not wired connections
Can 't fined help. Anyone here?
Hi Darren. Sorry for the delay in answering your reply. Now that I have a keyboard to type on, I can answer you. I only had my Fire tablet to use yesterday so managed to ask my short question.
I truns out that the problem was a downstream 4 port switch that was causing the router's 4 ports to lose IP service. I started unplugging the others computers and as soon as the other switch was unplugged, everything worked. I then cut the power to the switch for 10 minutes, powered up, then replugged the downstream equipment one by one and everything is back to normal.
Cox has been doing some upgrades to their network and asked customers to reboot their networks a few times over the last few weeks. I was unsure if they were the problem or if it was our network.
Again thanks for your help in trying to figure out my problem.
Michael, please see my reply to Darren. My lack of a real keyboard did not help the problem. Thanks for trying to help with your ideas.
Thanks for the feedback. Glad it worked out. I've marked it as Solved for the benefit of anyone else who turns up seeking help.
Funny how some of the most obvious things can be the answer.
There are so many things that can go wrong that some of us lose sight of the most obvious "reboot the network" moves.
