Hub uptimes have been random and a couple of hours. I coded up a simple python console program to display all the hub UDP broadcast messages. Of course now it seems a bit more stable. The reset status of PIN,SFT,HRDFLT looks a bit ominous though Hub: HB-00071006 v194 Station ID: 70138 Device: ST-00140225 v181 Station ID: 1216772 ---

Have you tried it with a different USB power supply yet??? ---

I will try that today. I have another Tempest USB power supply from another hub that bootloops ( Serial port output shows unreadable firmware ) I hope I don’t have to replace this hub because the Tempest is 75ft up a tower so I can’t get it into pairing mode. ---

Looking though connection issue posts here I rather think it was not the USB power supply. I think it was the WiFi access point band steering problem. The usual AP has 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands with the same SSID. I changed to a 2.4Ghz only access point 4 days ago and have not had a single disconnect. ---

For the benefit of others, can you share the make/model of wifi access point that may have connection-stability problems???
