I have a Trendnet 24 port switch used for keeping my house up and running. I bought it originally in 2015 and have since gone through 3 since then (getting replacements from the Company).
Same thing seems to happen each time, overnight the switch just stops working. My modem and router are fine, and the switch has the lights on (green/orange) seemingly indicating that it is working, but there is no connection to any of my ports.
Just curious if anyone has any suggestions on what could be going on here. I believe it is connected to a surge protector, and to my knowledge there were no power surges last night.
Is this a Trendnet issue, as in, I should buy another switch from another manufacturer?
Thanks friends
Damn it, good find.
With that being said, does anyone have a recommendation for a non-failing switch?
Yes

I'd say Netgear or TP-Link.
Though I have to wonder why you need 24 wired ports for your house. Do you have a family of 20, all with desktop PCs?

If you really must know, we have a family of 50

If you want to run ethernet in the house, 24 is essentially minimum these days. Figure 3-5 rooms with Smart TVs, a couple computers and some wireless access points.
Or look at it another way. Cat6 is cheap, and its just as much work to run 4 lines as it is to run 1 line to a specific location. Living room, rec room/finished basement, 4 bedrooms and/or offices times 4 runs a piece, you're easily in 24 port territory.
