NWA50BE Causing Hardwire Network Disruption

Hi.

I've just bought an NWA50BE and connected it to my network, via a gigabit switch.

It seems that the unit is causing disruption on the hard wire connected devices, as things like SpeedTest get very poor figures with it switched on and normal when it's switched off.

I haven't made any changes to settings other than those required when setting it up initially, so have I missed something that needs to be done to get it to play nice with the rest of the network?

Thanks in advance,

Ian

    Hi @ianj14 ,

    In general, connecting the NWA50BE to your network should not affect the speed of other wired devices. That said, please check whether any wireless clients are connected to the NWA50BE or to your router (if your router also has Wi-Fi enabled), as heavy wireless traffic could impact overall network performance.

    To view the connected wireless client list on the NWA50BE, go to: Web GUI > Monitor > Wireless > Station Info > Station List
