Hello,
I just switched my Netgear R7000 (Merlin WRT) for Flint. (WAN mac is made the same).
but I have an issue when ISP cable is plugged directly into Flint - connection drop often.
Configuration:
- ISP 100Mb RJ45 DHCP
- No connection issue if R7000 is plugged to ISP’s cable and other devices are connected to R7000
- No connection issue if R7000 is plugged to ISP’s cable, Flint plugged to LAN port of R7000 and all other devices are connected to Flint
- Connection drop if ISP’ s cable plugged into Flint (log):
Log

I can’t figure out the issue, nor ISP is helpful.
