Yes network connectivity issue..

If it works a short time, the IP (layer 3 information) seems correct.

So it is than either something on layer 1/2 that stops working or it is the Meridian unit.


I work in network bussiness, and these kind of problems can be failures with auto speed/duplex negotiation that happens between ethernet devices.


I have not much experience with netgear, but i read the manual. I see no reference to setting port settings manually

Reading a faq i see:
Auto-Sensing gigabit green switch automatically adjusts the power level based on the length of Ethernet cable and port connections

This seems a nice feature, but will that work ok with every client ?


I would expect your dealer to have some knowlegde in this area if he sells network connected devices.

With a switch you can manage (i use linksys SRW2008 at home) you can view the port settings it ended up on with the auto setting, and also you can select port speed and duplex settings.
Than there are error counters so you can see what goes wrong.
This was like 200 Euro device here, if your dealer sells multi 1000 Euro devices to you, i would expect the dealer to solve this for you.

If he tries eplanations like: it always worked where i installed it before.
Let him take the network equipment from such a location to your house and see if that fixes the problem.
