Whole Firewalla network loses connectivity when I shutdown and then again when I restart my work computer.

Network background: I have AT&T Fiber Internet connected directly to my Firewalla Gold. The Firewalla Gold has a wired connection to a 24 port switch in my basement. That 24 Port switch is connected to a 5 port switch in my office. I have wireless APs connected to various points on the wired network.

Circumstances: While my work computer is up and running or while it is completely powered off I have no issues at all. However, when I shut down the computer or, after I turn it on and log in, my whole network crashes for 5~10 seconds. This includes both wired device as well as wireless devices.

Work PC details: I do know our work puts a lot of security software on our computers including Pulse Secure and ZScaler. Other than that, I don't notice anything special about the work computer.

Any one have any idea why this may be occurring or how I may prevent it from happening every time I shut it down for the night?

Thanks,

Ken

2. Some antivirus may not like firewalla scanning, tap on the scan button, tap on "device open ports," and disable it for your PC.
