Re: OM5P-AN router - NPF Error

I think some laptop NICs drop the connection almost immediately if there is any interruption in the connection, while a switch will hang on for longer retrying.
During the process the connection is broken and reformed several times as the device settings change and it has to be rebooted.
Switches just tend to be more forgiving.
