Ethernet randomly disconnects for a few seconds
Hey all, so I've been fighting this issue with my XR500 for about 2 months now. Out of the blue, my desktop would randomly lose connection for a few seconds and then regain connection. As far as I ca...
So, interestingly enough, .40 isn't doing it so far. Going to see how it goes for the next few hours though. Curious what may have changed between the two versions to do that.
At the very least, if it stays working, I may return the RAX since I'm having different issues with that now.
Yeah keep us updated, it might appear okay for the moment but time will be the true test. Nothing that I know of would have caused that between the versions but with each new firmware there is always a possibility it doesn't work in various scenarios. Not every setup that people have can be tested as there are almost infinite variations. Even the next firmware to come out may work fine for you and it's just .56. It's very hard to narrow down issues that aren't on every version.
So, for the time being, we're going on nearly 48 hours with no drop. At the very least, whenever DumaOS 3.0 comes out, I have a firmware to roll back to just in case it happens there as well.
Glad to hear that, do let us know if it happens again. We're sure you'll love 3.0, I definitely think it's worth the wait.
