I'm having problems with my 3 month old EdgeRouter-X so I'll describe it and post what is quite possibly the most 3rd grade MS Paint example known to exist on the North American continent.
NetGear CM1000 Cable Modem feeds my EdgeRouter-X. CAT6 from Cable Modem goes to Port 0 on the ER-X
The ER-X serves as my DHCP Server for 2 Desktops and a TP Link Archer C-7 (to provide wireless access to my phone/tablets separate from my Desktops)
At least 2-3 times per month, Ports 1 & 2 on the ER-X suddenly stop functioning completely, resulting in no Internet connectivity for either desktop. They can't see the ER-X nor each other, nor the Cable Modem...however...the TP Link still functions just fine. I can unplug either (or both) desktops CAT6 cables from the ER-X and connect them to the ethernet ports on the TP Link, Perform a release/renew, and they immediately pull an IP from teh TP Link and regain internet connectivity.
(Note: All ethernet cables are brand new, good-quality CAT6, less than 25ft long, and known-working (I tested them with our tester at work)
Thoughts? Suggestions?(other than, "Learn to MS PAINT, foo!")
