VR2800 internet connection drops when connecting Netgear Switch
Model : Archer VR2800
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Hi
Just received my Archer VR2800 to replace the BT Smart HUB that was frankly useless. All set up and connection is working fine until I connect my Netgear switch to the LAN ports, which then causes the internet to stop working. When this happens I can still connect to the Archer, but just no internet access.
I have 2 netgear switches - an 8 port switch and a 16 port JGS516-200EUS. Between them they provide wired access to all rooms in the house as the router is under the stairs. Plugging either into the router causes the internet to be lost within a few seconds. Exact set up was working fine with various BT Hubs. Stumped with this so grateful for any suggestions.
