OM5P-AP wifi dropping out

[camtunkpa]

Yesterday during our six hour unbag window we were working on our competition bot and ran into issues with our wifi disconnecting. We found that when the robot would get bumped, the wifi would disconnect. First we thought this was surely a wiring issue. We checked all connections and they were all good. We let the radio sit undisturbed for a bit and after about 80 seconds the wifi dropped out. We then decided to replace the VRM in case that was the issue. We still experienced the same issue. Have any other teams experienced similar issues? It is to be noted the radio never lost power...the lights remained lit on the radio the entire time. One thing we do question is that our wifi light never lights on our radio.

This radio had previously been used on a test electronics panel and did not exhibit any wifi drops. We finally gave up and ordered a new radio as we are competing at a week one event.

We are very frustrated because instead of finishing up the competition bot we wasted 2/3 of our unbag time on troubleshooting the radio.

We are looking for any kind of suggestions at this point. We left the radio out of the bag to continue testing on in hopes of a solution.
