Hi @johnbusby ,
I was thinking about your master disc re-election problem crash. I think that I’ve inadvertently avoided this happening on my setup and thus not falling victim to the same issue you reported.
I have only one disc connected to the router, this one is always the master, it never changes. I’ve chained a small gigabit switch into the second port of this disc, and the remaining discs into this switch. In effect therefore I have a dedicated backhaul switch. My other wired devices all connect into a different switch via the router and are completely separate from the Wi-Fi one. I’ve also tried daisy chaining the discs together as a backhaul instead of using the switch, this also prevents master re-election and appears to work.
I’m thinking that your configuration probably has the discs all on an equal footing, connected into the router. Out of interest could you confirm please. I fully agree that the firmware doing a re-election shouldn’t cause such problems, and BT really need to squash this bug if it’s the cause. Anyhow, I hope this may assist if a reconfiguration of cables is possible in your case. In any case I’d be interested to hear if you get anywhere resolving this.
Kev.
