Morning guys, I managed to get a short time playing around last night before the Mrs wanted the TV!

I put in a Netgear ProSafe 8 port switch into which I fed the network cable from C15 and network cable from ID41 and then a cable from the Netgear to the wall plug (at the moment I don't have a long enough cable to go direct to the router and this will not really be a feasible option long term anyway.

Unfortunately Sooloos played for about 5 seconds before dropping out as normal. The ID41 zone then appeared and disappeared at random for short spaces of time. What I did notice that may be relevant or not (I am not in the least bit techie) is the following. On the Netgear box, each port has two lights, a 10Mbps light and a 100Mbps light and if both are lit, it equals up to 1000Mbps.

The ports carrying the cable to the plug and from the C15 had both lights flickering away (up to 1000Mbps) whereas the port from the ID41 only ever had the one 100Mbps light on. I don't know if this is relevant to the problem I have but intuitively I think it might. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Bernie
