Is there any kind of manual overide we can do to get site-to-site for the BR500's to connect? To be honest I am confused and angry that the BR500 needs to have a constant connection to your servers for them to operate propery. I would think once the BR500 makes a site-to-site connection with my other BR500 (using your server's to negoiate the handshake) it wouldnt need to rely on your servers to conitnue operations.. I guess its just another dissapointing "feature" of these devices. I am really starting to regret rolling these devices out to all my locations spread across the US. I have an entire company of 300+ employees unable able to work today becuase of this.

For us the problem has been recurrent for November 2018 and has a financial impact on our daily work.
Since then we have been waiting for a permanent and lasting stability of the service.
The question is : Who's going to pay for all these days of technical unemployment ???
