Hi all,

I have an issue where 2 or 3 times a week - my wired connection drops. For it to get back on I have to physically take the ethernet connection out of my Asus Dark Knight router. restart the router and the superhub (modem mode), reseat the ethernet cable back into the router then restart the gigabit switch that it's connected to so I can have wired connections from the switch.

I've tried different ethernet cables, even cat7 and nothing seems to cure it. Just drops after a few days when it seems to have had too much data running through it

Does this sound like a router problem? Perhaps the ports are dying? It is about 9 years old I think. Time for a new router?
