I recently got an Nvidia Shield and hooked it up with ethernet after a day or so on WiFi. When I plug it in it breaks my desktop computer's internet, but the WiFi still works. I've tried reseting the desktop's IP configs and everything, but the only solution seems to be to remove the Shield from the network.
Any suggestions or has anyone else experienced the same issue?
I have a similar problem, it happens after my electricity goes out . I kill everything on the network in a few minutes after the shield starts.
I have reserved IP for my devices that are connected via cable. There is no IP conflict and also changed the cables.
The way I fix my problem is to unplug the shield and let it turned off for a few minutes, after this everything works at is should. I had this issue since i bought it in December last year. Happened on 7 and now on 8 and its really annoying that my entire network is down and I lose all connections to my devices from outside until i get home and reset it.
Is there a way to stop the shield from automatically starting when the power comes back ? As this should at least fix my problem with accessing my other devices.
Replace the cable between the switch / router and the shield. It sounds like you may have a bad connection on one of the cable ends and it is spewing bad packets which is overwhelming the limited cpu of the router.
Just a guess, but it sounds like an IP conflict (both devices are trying to use the same IP address). I’d verify that both the desktop and shield are using unique IP addresses. Setting both to use DHCP to get their addresses will fix this, unless you want them to have statically assigned IPs for some purpose.
