Re: [PLUG] Ethernet connection dropping

It can help to have a good/known DHCP server for troubleshooting. I've used various Cisco (router, switch or AP), Mikrotik, and Ubiquiti devices as DHCP servers in the past without service issues. My main DHCP server is actually an old web server running Ubuntu 8.04 on a 32-bit HTPC box. Just hav
