So, a friend has some really strange issues.
The network setup is as follows:
24 mbit/s DSL connection -> ISP Supplied DSL modem/router (only used as modem) -> Netgear Nighthawk (not sure on the exact version, probably the highest end one) -> some basic switches where needed
They have a couple of kids and load and loads of equipment, hence him starting to ethernet things up; before everything was wireless. The problem is two of the things connected to the network (wired), drops whenever an iPad logs into Netflix. These are: 1) a basic HP printer and 2) a Maranz SR7010. The two are connectec to different switches (as I understood it).
It happens on all the iPads in the household, and nothing else, not iPhones or AppleTV or anything. The iPads are of different generations but on the same iOS version (the latest, whatever that is). As soon as you select a user in the Netflix app, the reciever and the printer simply dissapears from the network. They did change the IP adresses on the printer and reciever, but that didn't work. DHCP is obviously on, I don't know how they changed settings on the router, but I do know a guy I know to be good with these things was there for a long time and didn't resolve it.
They have probably not shuffled the IP adresses around, IE turning DHCP off, assigning an adress to the reciver, have it dropped from the network and then assign that IP to say the AppleTV.
He said he will bring the devices to a different network to see how it behaves there, dunno if he'll do it today or next week.
To me it sounds like a software thing, I don't think the router or modem is at fault. Some conflict in Netflix/iOS/nic somehow, but I found it very interesting anyway.
(tangential to this, his workplace provided that reciever because he works in an audio/video store and they needed a sound guy, I would hate him if he wasn't so likeable and his wife was my coworker)
