After around two weeks of uptime, I experienced a weird situation where all my LAN ports (but not the WAN port or I’d have had no Internet) stopped working. No Philips Hue bridge, no connection to my downstairs computer and no connection to our set top box. Reboots and power switching didn’t fix it, so I opted to do a full reset and restore (which then saw my mesh node disappear for ages, before returning at 2.4GHz!!).
Even that didn’t fix the issue, so I started to think I had a hardware fault – typical!
But, I then wondered if maybe one of the cables had somehow got damaged (how, I don’t know) and I disconnected them all – and then put them back in one at a time. And, bam, the Hue bridge reconnected to the Internet and all the other connections worked again too. None of them were loose, and even if one was – why did they all fail?
Anyone have any idea what the hell happened there?!
I could see nothing in the logs before the reset to hint at a problem, but it continued even after the reboot. And the mesh node has since gone back to 5GHz (by itself) so it’s like nothing ever happened.
