" I noticed that it was acquiring two wired connections positions in the Genie when it was plugged into only one slot?"?

Before that he said "I noticed that I have two wired connections to the router" so 2 wired connection would be normal?

 


Sorry I wrote that wrong, so I have two slots taken up on the physical router, my computer and the alarm. Checking my attached device in the Genie, I see in the "Wired Devices" I have 3 devices connected, my computer and two created by the alarm. 

 

I removed the alarm ethernet, and I only have one, my computer.

I had same error after updating to the latest firmware even after multiple factory resets and reboots.  I did a cold restart by unplugging the power cable and then everything was working OK.


This was happening before and after the update, I tried all ways of restarting and none worked other than removing the alarm.
