LAN ports stopped working
Out of no where, my LAN ports stopped working both on router and sat. I have rebooted and reset but does not fix. After a reboot, the ports will work for about two minutes but then anything connected ...
I actually just fixed the issue last night. I had a 5 port switch attached to the router to give me extra ports. On a whim, i unplugged the switch and then the devices i had attached to the router worked again. I'm unsure why the switch is killing the router's lan ports though. It doesn't look like i have any configuration that would cause a bridgeloop. If you have a switch attached, try to unplug it.
No switch attached. It was working fine for about 2 months and now if i attach anything to the LAN post it turns Magenta and stops working. Router works great with nothing else attached.
