RE650 connected to Deco main over wireless (2.4ghz)

Updated to latest firmware.

 

Ping time is mostly 5ms. Mostly. App diagnostics say it is in an ideal location!

 

Broadcasts a local network on both 2.4 and 5 using lowest power.

 

Testing throughput:

2.4 is about 30 mbit to iperf locally

5 ghz is about 80 mbit to iperf locally

 

but in 5ghz mode it regularly (every 5 or 10 minutes) just blanks out.

in 2.4ghz it is more reliable but still blanks out. Pings literally just timeout. After a while, I get a reconnection...

 

It doesn't get too hot. The room is not too hot.

 

The blackouts happen and any device (Linux, IOS or OSX) lose connection.

 

The local signal strength is -37 as reported by OSX where 0 is max and -100 is worst.

 

Here is an example, it happned while I was typing this.

Note that it isn't just latency spiking from noise. "NO ROUTE TO HOST".

This will trigger OSX to try to connect to the next available known network.

 

The whole wifi connection goes dead, and reconnection then happens.
