The S2 is only USB, no ethernet on it. USB settings have always been set as per your suggestions, other USB devices run forever between updates on this computer. I'm just verifying this again, but the S2 runs fine under its' native ELAD software on this Win11 computer.

Is anyone else running this combination? This combo is super reliable on W10 but has never worked reliably since I got this Win 11 mini AMD PC last fall.

Also, is your S2 and PC connected together via two Ethernet cables to your ISP's Router? It's much more reliable to connect Skimmer PC and S2 to the same external 1Gbps Ethernet Switch, like a Negear GS105, then connect the Ethernet Switch to the Router. That way, when your ISP updates or reboots your router, the Skimming will carry on even while the Router is rebooting, because once connected, the PC and SDR communicate directly with each other through the switch instead of through the Router.

Also if you're using CAT5 cables rather than CAT5e or CAT6 STP (shielded twisted pair) there could be Ethernet reliability problems if using 1 Gbps devices.
