Fvs318gv2 connectivity issues
i have a fvs318gv2 with the latest firmware installed 4.3.3-6. It works great for about 10 minutes then it crashes. After it crashes I can ping it, but I can't access it through the gui. I reboot and...
We know it is probably not a hardware issue since it can run for months at a time
We know they claim to have seen the problem and to be working on it
So I think the only thing we can do now is to keep up the 'rumbles' of discontent
I am as frustrated as you that all that money is tied up in a unit that does not
work well enough for deployment, but I am reluctant to reward them with another
purchase.
If it is a hardware issues, you think they will do a recall? I don't think so... They just leave it until there are a new model come out and stop supporting it.
If it was a hardware issue, we would not have found a way to have it run months at a time.
i.e. they could program it to double boot, following the cold boot by a warm boot; but I have
been very reluctant to suggest this hack, in case they take it seriously.
The SRX5308 is almost $300, and 14% on Amazon give it a 1 star rating (c.f. 27% for the FVS318Gv2)
