Comment on Networking issues (desktop mode)
southernbeaver@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoCan you test if this happens when you use a network cable or does your dock not come with a network port?
Do you know what wifi does your ISP router use? Is it 5 or 6? Is it set to 2.4, 5, or 6Ghz?
How far is it from the router? Does any other device drop connection?

You’re not going to believe this but someone else commented above that it might be the HDMI cable or monitor and unbelievably they were correct. Ping immediately restored once I unplugged it then went bad again when I replugged.
I’ve rotated the deck 90 degrees and it’s a lot better.

Slap a ferrite bead on the cable. It will likely solve the interference issue, and they’re super cheap. You can get a variety pack for like $10 on amazon. They’re handy to have on hand, because an unbelievable amount of consumer-grade electronics are just fucking rawdogging the EM spectrum with unshielded cables and hoping for the best.

Oh man. I’m glad it solved it but I’m also very confused.
