Entire LAN goes down when playing Microsoft Flight Simulator
Entire LAN goes down when playing Microsoft Flight Simulator

Model: Deco X60  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

As the title says my entire LAN goes down as soon as I start a flight in Microsoft Flight Simulator. I've been away from the sim for a while and recently picked it up again and I haven't had this issue before. If I bypass the router and connect my computer directly to the fiber converter the problem goes away, but somehow the X60 doesn't seem to cope with MSFS at all. My computer is connected with cable to the main unit and I have a 250/250 fiber that I have no other issues with at all. I've turned off all network protection features in the router and have the QoS set to 1000/1000Mbit with all service types to the right, I've been fidling with this but nothing helps. And I have restarted the router of course.

 

Anyone else have this issue? Any solutions?

I did a reset of the main router (using the button underneath it) but that didn't help either.

Hi, Thank you very much for the feedback.

When you said"entire LAN goes down as soon as I start a flight in Microsoft Flight Simulator", do you mean both the Ethernet and WiFi connection from Deco X60 would be disconnected, or just the wired PC would be disconnected from the network?

Would the main Deco turn red?

Were you able to stably reproduce this issue? If yes, later I could forward your case to the engineers for further suggestions.

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

  @David-TP All devices on the network, both on wifi and on cable, lose connection to Internet or at least it gets very spotty. The wifi connection remains stable, but I can't reach anything on the Internet. This happens every time I play MSFS but not with any other game/application. When I connected my computer directly to the fiber converter the connection remained stable, so apparently MSFS produces some kind of weird traffic that the X60 doesn't like at all. I've reached out to their support as well to see if they know what it can be. As I mentioned I didn't have these issues before so I suspect some of the latest updates introduced this. I just can't imagine what it could be.
