Newly setup Nano killing my internet connection

Try a different ethernet lead - just because it works on other devices does not mean its not faulty. Also do a power cycle on your router.

One of the first things I tried - sorry should have mentioned that. Tried different router ports with different leads with power cycles at all times inbetween. Even tried homeplugs. All give me the same reproducible issue.

if it means anything. I have just had an absolute nightmare after installing mgcam. Was alright for a few days and then crashed my network. I have got network up and running again but still having problems. I had to uninstall mgcam altogether to try to solve problem. If I got internet working as soon as I connected to VU it lost connection, so if you do have mgcam installed it may be worth considering removing it altogether.

Thanks, but it was like this before I installed MGCam (I did that as a test after I was suffering from CCCam). And it's still showing the problems without either of those even installed on a fresh flash. Like I say, as soon as I take the Technomate off the network, boom, everything back to normal.

What else have you got on the network?

What else have you got on the network?

1 NAS, 1 Laptop, 1 Smart TV - all gigabit wired on 5E minimum, all cables fine and tested & switched through the router/modem - and a few phones / tablets on wireless.

Whilst I'm not a networking guru, I know how to set up a home network and know how it's all configured, so I know that I'm set up correctly. Hence why I'm so stuck...

Disconnect everything from the router just to eliminate a conflict. Also bring your receiver to a friends house to try on a different router - its possible it doesnt like the gigabit router.

Already done the first part, still the same. It's a 7800N Billion router / modem which is a high end consumer level product - and EVERYTHING I've ever used before with it has had no issues at all.

Fairly pointless trying it on a separate router as I won't be giving up my 7800N for it, so looks like I'll be returning it. Never had a device do this to my network before and I've had this setup for 5 or so years (being tweaked and checked regularly). Can only assume it's a faulty piece of hardware on the network line in the box. Bizarre.

Have u tried giving the Nano a static IP rather than letting it pull one from DHCP?

Do you have any Smart DNS services configured on your router?

Hi.
Can't help you with your problem, but why on earth did you buy a Technomate? (OK, I made this mistake too, grrrr!). My advice would be to do what I did - chuck it out and buy a proper box with proper support like a VU.

I owned a TM-5200d SUPER for years, still got it too
I have a TM-Single too for over a year, never had any issue with it. I would buy TM again if I needed a cheap box.
I find the PQ of the TM-Single better than that of my Gigablue Quad I had until recently.

Nothing wrong with Technomate receivers Spoof, I've had loads and to be honest I've never had any problems with any of them. Even my TM800 works as it should as too does my ancient TMS 1500 CI+ which is great for activating and updating subscriber cards with.

A lot of the time it all goes down to how they are setup as to how well they work, its easy to blame the receiver when 99% of the time the issue is caused by how the unit has been setup in the first place by the operator. The support for Technomate receivers is just as good as any other brand of receiver i have owned before as they are supported by most of the big image teams.

The customer service by Technomate themselves is also second to non. Remember when the unstable VIX beta image for the TM-Twin was released by somebody who shall remain nameless. The image ended up screwing up a lot of TM-Twin receivers which were repaired free of charge by Technomate. I doubt that Vu+ or Dream Multimedia would be as forthcoming.

I know there have been driver issues in the past, but usually Technomate always sort it out.

I'm not saying the original poster has set the box up incorrectly as there may well be a problem with that particular receiver, but stating the TM receivers are crap is just being ignorant.

I have had Amiko Alien 2, Amiko 8840, Opticum X7, Vu Solo, Ferguson Ariva 250, Gigablue 800 UE, Gigablue 800 SE plus, Technomate 7102 and 6902.

I currently have the TM Single and TM nano and I have to say the TM boxes for me are excellent and would take them over all the ones I mentioned above any day

Getting sidetracked here but TM pi--ed a lot of users off with the TM2T drivers debacle - took nearly two years to get it right, then they discontinue it. Just sayin.

TM-2T has not been out two years mate, just saying.
TM-twin on the other hand is another story all together.
