Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.6.7 Build 25031412 Rel 48241

Internet connection drops almost daily.  There is very light traffic on our three-node network.

Seems like the WiFi stays up, but the internet connection crashes.

Sonic internet (our ISP) has confirmed that there has been no outages on their side.

Decos all have the latest firmware.

 

Here are entries from the logs,  basically repeating over and over every few seconds:

  @VOak The MAC address I Google searched appears to be an IoT by manufacturer ecobee.  Is one of your ecobee IoTs malfunctioning?
