@David-TP Thanks for the reply, here are answers to your questions and some additional information:
- No, I'm not able to reproduce this issue in a short time. It happened again today, but was fine for the previous 4 days.
- After more investigation, it requires a specific satellite deco to be turned off or rebooted (but not the same one each time). The packet loss starts when one of the satellite deco devices gets into a loop of going offline, or trying to connect to one of the other satellite decos instead of the main deco (the main deco is the closest to all satellites). Every 10 or so seconds the status in my deco app switches between these two states:
- When the PC is connected to the main deco, the same packet loss issue exists.
Questions:
- Why does this happen?
- Why does one satellite deco having problems cause packet loss on the entire network?
Additional info + one more unrelated bug:
- I am able to observe the same packet lost when connected by both wifi and ethernet.
- It happens randomly with the satellite deco (not the same device each time).
- Some errors seen in the logs on the deco devices are below (not sure if any of this is related)
- An unrelated bug: The time on the satellite decos does not match the time on the main deco (main deco is correct) and there is no setting to change this

Can't get logs from the satellite deco having the issue because it won't connect to the login page, and the logs are gone when it's rebooted.
