Having a similar problem although our cRIO (original model) does not lose communications with the laptop. It simply freezes on the "rebooting cRIO" message, while I can still ping the device or open it with ftp.

The image wipe is not working correctly, because the old robot code is still there along with some image files from last year. Maybe these files are causing problems. I'll try to find some log information tonight.

Firewall disabled along with the wlan adapter.

I've left it in this state for ~1 hour hoping the avoid a watched pot issue, but no luck.
