You're facing intermittent disconnections whenever a switch is connected to your router. It sounds like the issue isn't limited to just the devices on the switch, but could involve network traffic or configuration quirks. Your experience with different routers—Speedport Smart 3, Mikrotik Routerboard 2011, and TP-Link TL-SG3109—suggests the problem might be related to how packets are handled, possibly involving UDP traffic. The fact that even directly connected ISP devices struggle indicates a broader network instability. Consider checking for firmware updates, reviewing router logs, and ensuring proper cabling. If the problem persists, testing with another device or a different connection method may help pinpoint the source.
