As subject says, powercycling the devices (router10 & managed switch) brings everything back. At first, packet loss then total network loss including IP (dhcp). As of my testing, only two devices are behind the router/switch/ap combo. Macbook (wired) into switch & iphone (wireless).

Anyone else experiencing this?

Is there packet loss for purely L2 switched traffic on the managed switch when the flow doesn’t involve route 10?

Unsure, when it’s happened, twice now, was pressed for time and did a power cycle. next time, will perform more troubleshooting, if time allows.
