Char presented an isolation method near the beginning of the thread.

I'm still trying to figure out, how comms from (B)
to (A), are going through the ATT 10/100 port.
The traffic does appear to go through the
wired R20000 ports. But doesn't have to
touch the ATT, unless some funky routing
is going on which isn't shown in the picture.

switch --- PC (A)
--- R20000 --- switch --- PC(B)

I wonder if the Wifi on PC (A) and PC (B),
the radio on those is switched off ?

The TV files are housed on (A) and viewed on (B); ATT not involved in
that traffic directly (but because it is on the LAN it sees it? Since
it is a 10/100 , as someone suggested in a post, device does that slow
the overall LAN traffic?)
Something is flooding the LAN with data and going to or from the ATT;
this traffic kills the TV file viewing so if I unplug the ATT Cat5 to
the rest of the LAN the LAN speed goes to full speed. Now this does not
happen all the time when watching the TV files. But when it does it
kills viewing. I have tried killing apps on the viewing PC (B) like NAS
apps but got inconsistent results.

WiFi on all devices is active and used.
The IP address range is set to not overlap on the ATT and R20000.
R20000 only acts as WiFi at that end of the house and as a Cat5 router.


I am not familiar with the posted isolation suggestion and need to study
it. Too much new terminology. My pea brain does not think I will
understand it.
