brucecampbell Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I have found an ongoing problem where my internet drops off for a very short time. My ISP reports no faults on their service. Is there a way to determine if my switch or router are the cause? Noting I do not have other hardware to swap out in their place to run testing. Router: Asus RT-AC66U Switch: Level One GSW-1657 16 port gigabit switch Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanjackson Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Try running ping plotter on a computer and point to a website. Should tell you where the dropout is. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The switch is unmanaged. wont any errors show up as failing at my router? cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanjackson Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Hey You are correct, i don't think i would pick up the unmanaged switch. Id plug into the router and test the ISP first. If you plug into the switch you should be able to ping the router IP in ping plotter. That would tell you if its the switch. *havent tried this but seems logical* Ryan brucecampbell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
