Re: Intermittent connection on field only

Just to document other occurrences of the problem, we had this identicle trouble at Greater Kansas City in week 1. We tried all the replacements and fixes mentioned in this thread, including filtering the power from the DC adapter. To this day we do not know the problem. Just to make sure it is not the router itself, we have replaced it with a new one. One possibility is physical damage to the router PCB/components caused by shocks/jarring/vibration. This router certainly was not designed for such abuse. Our older, 2011 router which has seen more mileage and abuse exhibits the same problem but more frequently. We have mounted the new router in a location with less shock and more cushioning to try to keep it pristine. Time and another competition will tell if this solves the problem.
