XT9 LAN Switch connectivity issues

Arthur1290
Star I

I have two XT9's, everything works wonderfully over wifi, but if I connect two devices over the LAN ports, the connection stops working.

if I change anything in the router configuration and select apply, the router restarts somethings, then it works for a while, then stops again.

i saw few other folks having the same issues, but apparently nobody from asus takes it seriously . I also opened a ticket but so far no reply. 
I'm currently using a switch connected to one LAN port, and the devices are plugged in the switch, but this not what I wish, and the LAN switch module should work!

 I'm guessing there's a buffer overflow in the firmware that freezes the LAN switch after a certain amount of packets go through it.

Thank you for your reply, but the problem isn't solved by resetting to factory settings or by setting a different MTU value. The issue is the isolation between the router's Lan ports, which is not a standard or acceptable configuration. I tried to factory reset the router, nothing changed. I have the latest firmware available installed on my two devices.
