Obi110 Flood The LAN and Bring My Network DOWN
ForObiBis:
Hi,
My Obi110 often flooded the local area network and and bring the whole network down. :( :( :(
I have had this issue on/off since I got the Obi110 last year and set it up with a google voice account. I have the Obi110 connected to a WRT54G router via an Ethernet cable. Once in a while I would found that my other computers in the network could not access any internet because Obi110 has its internet LED (Green) constantly flashing. The way to solve the problems is: 1) Turn off Obi110 completely or 2) Reboot Obi110. Note: I just need to turn off or reboot OBI110 without touch the router then my network would come back so it is definitely a problem with the Obi. After Reboot Obi110 would be Ok for a while until this happen again.
I have seen similar topic discussed in the forum here:

"my obi110 is crazy, internet led flashing and make home network down"
*) I tried the solution from the above post. "to change ethernet port from 10 mb/s half-duplex to 100 mb/s full duplex" but the problem STILL occurs.
*) I always have my OBI110 updated to the latest firmware.
*) This happens without obvious triggers when OBI110 in idle mode.
This is really annoying since I need my internet up all the time and need OBI to making calls.
Is this a known issues? Is this a hardware issue? Is there a fix for it?
Thanks!

Has anyone else also seen this problem?

Yes, this happened to me today.
I was using my network as usual and all of the sudden everything stopped. I couldn't ping my router, my internal cameras, anything on the internet, and even the IP phone that was connected to my computer. I went through a diagnostic process of unplugging each item on my network separately, and found that when I disconnected the Obi from the network, connectivity was restored.
When I powered off the Obi and powered it back up, the problem was solved.
I was running firmware 2711. I've just now updated 2765.
Ad_Hominem:
By any chance, do you have a cordless telephone or other radio transmitting device, i.e., wifi transmitter, data card, etc., near your Obi 110 when this happened?
Transmitters like this are often responsible for malfunctions in electronic equipment. My Obi worked just fine since I bought it (shortly after they were released), and I just happened to have relocated my cordless phone so that they were right next to one another. I've moved it further away to see if it makes a difference...
