That could just be the combination of those particular devices. If my old modem/router packs it in, I'll just buy a decent one directly from someone other than my ISP. > George: > switches will forward just about any underlying packets at the layer > 2 level, they don't care about protocols at all, and generally it > takes an expensive switch to even look at protocols.

Though it could be at the remote end. All the smart devices I have run at 100 mb/s ethernet, none run at 10 mb/s or 1 gb/s. All of which went dumb a while ago, for several days, when something at Sony stopped working, and they go into stupid-mode when they can't authenticate with their mummy. I have a sony TV, and several Sony bluray/smart set-top boxes for various TVs. The TV deleted all the channels associated with the ABC, no streaming playing from any services on any devices, the devices wouldn't store their settings, even playing DVDs required mucking around, unplugging the power to be able to eject a disc. A few days later on, they all went good again. You might just want to try switching your network around, now, for the set-top boxes, and see if it behaves any differently. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.49.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 30 15:51:32 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
