Severe port flapping/reset/unstable in brand new RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN

Hey,

Just acquired a RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN from Amazon and since the very first instance that I’ve noticed several instabilities in the router.

I’ve migrated from a RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN which was/is rock solid working for the past years.

Tested both importing config from previous router and also starting from scratch, but I cannot get a stable link to Internet and also with internal equipment’s.

Cables are not the issue, since my RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN is now in-place again, with the exact same cables, without any issues.

Looking at the forum, I’m actually quite negatively surprised with the general stability of the equipment (including WiFi), and also how frequent port flapping appears in the forum, with multiple routerboards…

RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN is just rock solid. I never had any issues with this device… EVER!

I’ve opened a support ticket, but would like the community opinion if I should just go to another equipment or another vendor…

Thanks,
anthonws.

Does the flapping occur if you disable the wireless?

I once had a routerboard that had frequent flaps, but it was the antenna that was placed to close to the board.

Interesting. No I did not tested this. I’ll do a quick test later on.

What I notice is that it gets quite sensitive when removing/placing a network cable into whatever port…

Thanks!
