I installed the latest debian linux on my J45 (8GB/256GB) to run iobroker for smart home on it. This part works good so far. I also mounted network shares on my local Synology NAS via NFS. I can stream Youtube videos in a browser, stream content from german tv stations of teh web, copy files from the NFS share to the 256GB SSD. But every time the network crashes, when I stream video from the NFS share. I tried Kodi or the linux video player totem.

The whole network is unreachable. Ethernet and Wifi also! Every time! The network is fast enough. I get 100MBit/s down via Ethernet and 150MBit/s via Wifi! I end up having to reboot the J45 to get it up again. Any idea what it could be? Is there a linux driver for the network components?

*UPDATE* Copying files also made the network crash just now on the J 45 :(

I found that Debian Buster and Ununtu 19 didn't like the SSD in the J45. Running the OS from internal HD is fine. I am using Ubuntu server 18.04 on the SSD and all good.

I'm having that same issue reported by iobrokermgm... I had everything working fine here but now I started experiencing intermittent loss of connectivity that resumes out of the blue...

I'll try to investigate what might have been causing it as I prefer Debian over Ubuntu... and my system setup is complete and working the way I expected apart from this annoying issue

Hi, I tried to dual boot on my Gemini J and found the same problem of loss of connectivity in Linux Mint 19.2 both by ethernet and Wi-Fi.

When I booted with Windows 10 or with Live MINT everything was fine :o

Any ideas to solve it?

Apparently the issue is with the NetworkManager service in Debian, some people reported fixing it by uninstalling that service - which I've done on my end and so far so good - it's being like 30 mins and still no disconnection... But can't say for sure that fixed it or not yet...

FYI,I solved the problem installing the packages r8168-dkms_8.047.04-1_all.deb (you can easily google it) and everything goes fine.
