Network issue connecting to Antenna Genius

All was working fine this morning. I came back to find the computer had rebooted and nothing was connected. Restarted the computer and DAX and CAT took a minute to find the 6600M rather than instantly as usual.
The main issue is the Antenna Genius does not connect to the 6600M. I confirmed the radio address was unchanged in the AG Program. Powering down the network switch causes the AG Program to recognize the 6600M and connects for about 30 seconds and then disconnects. Confirmed power connection to the AG is ok and the LAN light is flashing on the AG. The AG now randomly connects and disconnects to the radio (not an RF issue as I am not transmitting)
Other programs are connecting ok on the LAN (FRStack, DxLab).
Any ideas?

and interestingly now neither DAX or CAT are connecting to the radio. The 6600M is only showing as a Smartlink connection on CAT and not on the LAN. DAX is not recognizing the radio. Clearly a networking issue.0

OK. It seems AVG upgraded and rebooted the computer. It added an "enhanced firewall" without my consent which was blocking the LAN. All fixed

I find that I have to must reboot the AG if there is a router or computer reboot. All happy after reboot.

Yes. I did try that. Turns out AVG added a new firewall. Disabling the “enhanced” feature fixed all the issues.0
