Internet disconnects randomly only when wired to WNDR4500v2
Hi there - thanks for taking a look. (This post is all about wired networks.)
I have been working flawlessly for over 3 years with my charter spectrum Arris router and Netgear WNDR4500v2 as an ...
OK it is confirmed and what was suspect - IDC but connectors splice in junction box was covered in a greasy gel like substance, possibly causing the issue. The IDC connectors were leaking there gel after X amount of years.
Problem solved!
Update:
OK so it worked all night - no disconnects - but even with this D-LINK AP - I woke up to a amber (100Mbs) ethernet port light on the back of the Arris modem. So something along the way is obvioulsy not working right. I think it is safe to say that there is a bad wire or something between my deatached office and the main panel. JUST so odd that it works at first for a long time.
One thing though that Netgear might still want to investigate is if there are any potential issues with connecting multiple devices in AP mode. I did notice odd behavior when attempting to add more devices such as those WiFi LED light strips.
Nest steps is to have an IT company come in with more advanced equioment to check the integrity of the lines. Will update.
