/edit: did a firmware upgrade of the AP and can’t replicate it anymore. Thanks all for the input, much appreciated. In case it happens again I will use your tips.

I have a very weird issue. I’ve got a relatively simple network setup:

  • router connected to ONT (Fibre)
  • 10 port switch A connected to router, cables to various places in house
  • 4 port switch B connected to switch A, with TV & Xbox connected
  • Unify WiFi AP connected to switch A, both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks

That works well. However, when I connect the WiFi AP to switch B I’m having issues. Initially it all works well, but after ~30 minutes the wifi stops working; I can no longer ping e.g. the router. It only happens to one of the WiFi networks (2.4Ghz or 5Ghz), not both. A reboot of the AP solves it again, but then it stops working after ~30 minutes.

Both switch A and B are 1Ghz switches, zero issues with other devices.

Any idea what I can try?

    Reset the AP to make sure it uses dhcp for its own ip and update firmware from unifi network after adopting the AP again.

    Test it by swapping places of the access points to find out if the issue is related to the access points or something else.

      Thanks. I’ve recently reset it, it has its own IP via DHCP. I’ve just moved it back to behind switch B, will do testing as you suggest.
