Forum General Networking : Routers & Gateways [Solved] DD-Wrt Wired ports Drop out

VPN, Remote Connection, VoIP & Video Conferencing

I have a Netgear WNR3500L wireless router flashed with dd-wrt v24. I have I private network set-up with a guest wifi network as well. My problem is that ever since I eliminated A vlan on sunday, It has been dropping out connectivity to it's wired ports every so often. As a side note, I have eithernet wiring thru the walls in my house, but one pair is used for phone. Do you think that the voltage from the phone is frying the chips in the router? Also I want to figure out if this is a software problem or a hardware problem. Thanks.

Best answer

have you tried resetting the router to default and start over with the configuration?

this should tell you if it is hardware or software issue

Actually I figured out the solution to the problem. I had a 5-Port Network Switch connected to the router with the wired drops connected to it & the cable that connected it to the router was defective. So I changed the wire & it worked.
