Cameras disconnecting pretty often. No idea?

Also, the Netgear switch also should have a page that shows power and traffic stats/errors for the POE ports. Might take a look at that too and see if there's anything that looks unusual there. Unfortunately I don't think that it shows real-time changes so you can't sit and watch it to see changes. Need to refresh. At least that's how it is on my older version.

How would I get to that netgear page? it's an unmanaged switch, no IP..
Not saying the box is not bad, but it's a 183 watt switch, I thought it'd be enough for 8 lorex cams.

What part of VA? I'm originally from Newport News.

I'm closer to you than to where you are from. I'm in Wise County, VA. I can almost see KY from here, it is only about 6 miles. My avatar is a sunset from our front porch.

Well. After switching port/cam 7 and 3 on the poe switch, 7 disconnected as usual. 3 did not.
Changed some recommended settings, toggled them, didn't work. Ethernet traffic, the pc is receiving around 46-52 Mbps. I think that's nowhere near choking a 1g connection.
