Sony XBR850C sometimes crashes my ethernet network

by w3jens

People in the house complain about no Internet and I can confirm that I can't ping anything on my network when it happens but rebooting the TV makes it go away. I initially thought it was the switch, but replacing it didn't help. The only thing that reliably works is rebooting the TV.

I like the picture, but between this networking issue and what feels like an incredibly underpowered UI, I wish I had bought another TV.

Have you tried replacing the ethernet cable?

If you run Wireshark on a laptop, do you see anything interesting? Don't send Wireshark dumps to anybody unless you're sure you've scrubbed valuable information.

Do you by chance have a loop in your switch network, causing a broadcast storm? Does the TV have a virus? Are you using wired? Wireless?
