Hi @squeeky09,

Welcome to our community forums and thank you for your first post.

Sorry to hear you are having issues with your 2.5mbps port disconnecting. How long has this issue been ongoing? Have you tried alternative cables to see if the issue persists? Is this the only port with issues?

Thanks,

[squeeky09]

This has been ongoing for about a month now I have tried a new lan wire all wires I use bar 1 that is used for my CCTV are cat 8 (all the same cat 8 wire also)the one in my CCTV is a virgin media cat 6 wire but it doesn't matter what I plug into the 2.5 port the connection is intermittent but the 1mbps ports are fine no problems at all

update your NIC driver

all drivers are up 2 date which I explained in my first post there has to be a problem with the port as it doesn't matter what I plug into that port I have the same problem

Hi squeeky09,

Sorry to see you're still having an issue with this.

I've had a look at our side and can see the hubs levels are out of specification. I'll need to arrange an engineer for this. Before doing so I'll need to confirm a few details with you, I've popped you over a private message (purple envelope, top right hand corner)
