eth0 Network Interface broken after Software Upgrade to 6.9.3
Hi, after updating my RN202 to Version 6.9.3, the network interface eth0 seems to be broken, it does not pick up a link (no led) and is greyed out in the admin interface. eth1 still works as ...
In May update to 6.9.3 - No Ethernet ports - No LED's. Eventually after much alternate trials I gave up and turned the power off. Next day I went to try the USB recovery, but the unit booted normally!!!
Now its 6.9.4 and the same has happened - No IP No lights on ports - Just have to figure out how many hours!!
The question is, Is this an individual 214 or a design fault? - I am still in warranty and is it worth replacing? My 104 is working OK and has survived both updates (3 years old).

There is an issue in the RN214 related to NIC port overheating, but I think that was resolved with driver changes in 6.9.4. I'd definitely contact support if you are seeing this in your RN214.
