Two devices on it are a pair of Netgear switches. The GS608v2 connects to my PC, printer and spurs off to the Powerline kit and a second switch in the living room, a GS605v3. Having noticed that the NAS performance is a bit iffy and a few reports from the alerting system that the NAS drops out a could of times a day, I naturally ignored the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually of course, I decided to fix it.<\/p>\n<p>Plug the NAS into the GS608v2 and packet loss is quite high from the PC on the same switch. Plug the NAS into the downstream switch via a different cable and the packet loss goes away. Mmm. Must be the cable.<\/p>\n<p>Plug the new cable into the GS608v2 and the packet loss has gone.<\/p>\n<p>How did the cable suddenly start causing a problem? Well new new cable is Cat5E. The old one is unmarked. Could just be that there is an interference source nearby that wasn&#8217;t there before. Could be that we have mice. Could be something else.<\/p>\n<p>Task now is to leave the temporary cable dangling and watch for packet loss over the next few days.<\/p>\n<p>Makes you realise just what a struggle it must be for the average home user now that there are so many Ethernet connected devices at home.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, maybe it&#8217;s just me that has their TV plugged into the LAN?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My home network is more complicated than most.
