    Same issue with different cables. After some research it sounds like it's a pause frame flood issue and the t3000 doesn't handle it properly so it shuts down all internet.

      Do you happen to have a Sony Bravia TV? I have encountered this issue in the past and I narrowed it down to a defect in the Ethernet driver or firmware. It seems to related to power standby mode. A reboot sometimes fixes it for a while. Maybe try adjusting the power settings.

      It resolved itself with a firmware update sometime later as I haven't seen the issue in over a year.

       

      Some info here as well:
