The issue as best as I can tell may be a port level negotiation issue (mismatch) between the Maestro GigE interface and the GigE switch. Since most of these switches are unmanaged, we have no visibility into the port parameters or stats. As it has been noted numerous times on the Community, some GigE switches work just fine (my Cisco SG-200 is one of them) and others do not. 100BaseT uses a different (and simpler) port negotiation protocol and for whatever reason seems to operate with fewer issues. I suspect that part of it has to do with the chipsets used for 100BaseT have had more time to refine their feature set functions and interoperate better. This is conjecture on my part.
And bandwidth has NOTHING to do with it. The Maestro consumes a modest amount network bandwidth and sends out even less.
In so doing there is not another device in the Mix......
Just a thought.

I haven't been on the air too much recently with the Maestro. I didn't want to turn in a ticket until I've tried some of the suggestions here.

Maybe the ALE software constantly changing the frequency is keeping the radio occupied and keeping it from crashing? So maybe the firmware is crashing due to inactivity from the client or something like that?
