R1 stops working with 2 LAN cables


Recommended Posts

hey guys

 

as the title says my R1 stops working the moment i plug a second ethernet LAN cable into the R1 (doesnt matter which port)

the R1 works again as soon as i unplug that cable

with not working i mean that no device can get a connection to the internet or get contact to the R1 interface (but the Wifi still works, just no device can connect to it despite the correct password)

is there something i oversaw in the options that i need to tick?

 

 

additional infos:

- ethernet LAN 2 = Xbox One (LAN 1 is the modem ofc)

- potential ethernet LAN 3 = PS4

- Wifi for any other network devices

- r1 firmware 1.03.4 = latest

- i use the following powerline plug that both PS4 and Xbox One are connected to:

If you've done what Fraser said and plugged into port 1 then ignore this. Otherwise, I had exactly the same problem as you :) Every time I plugged in my PC via ethernet all other devices would lose connection.

 

Simple fix was to use a different ethernet cable - I looked into it afterwards and I think it was something to do with crossover cables, and auto crossovers in ethernet ports and stuff like that. But changing ethernet fixed it for me :)

thanks a lot for the suggestion crossy, the cable i was using for the PS4 is like 5 years old and has never been really tested my me, found it in the locker and thought it should still be fine

will order a new cable from amazon to verify this

 

 

any other suggestions on what could cause this? :)

Shouldn't be, I should think a new cable will fix the issue :)
