Two radios running 0.7.5 here lost connections last night, so the recent reliability issues can now be addressed, thanks to the logs being preserved.
In the meantime, a version 0.7.6 has been uploaded to the GitHub development and 'main' (https://github.com/PomDev2/wlanpoke/tree/main) branches. This version is intended for stable operation. It is important that it always work. It achieves this by setting the default quick reset timing to disable the method, now suggested only for troubleshooting. The current quick reset method has two issues: First, every 24 seconds the script tests for the gateway, and if, at that moment, the gateway is invalid because it is still 'recovering' from the quick reset, the script becomes ineffective from then on, the radio eventually loses its connection again, but it is not mitigated. Second, the current quick method's effects don't seem to last as long as the full reset, making this coincidence more likely. Because of these, the new version 0.7.6 sets the quick method's default timing to disable it so that the script will work as reliably as in the past. The basically undeveloped code used to handle network gateway changes will be re-written in 0.8.0. Once that has been tested, an improved quick method can be reinstated by default. But reliability comes first. Thanks to all you contributors out there. BTW, another first: I was able to take a battery powered radio that had lost its connection, connect it to the Ethernet still on, used SqueezePlay to switch to Ethernet, and upload the logs from /var/log. That was the first time doing this has been successful for me! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ POMdev's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70558 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111663 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
