Title: RRC 1258 reboots on wifi
Post by: bigchimp on 2016-03-03, 20:19:55

I am operating an IC-7100 with the display connected to the RRC1258 control and wifi module installed.

Lately the RRC1258 reboots occasionally while receiving and often while transmitting. It appears to power cycle. The interesting part is that is only does this on WIFI.

The reboot happens when on my home wifi (LAN) or remote (WAN). If I connect the RRC1258 control through a cat5 cable to a router, the system does not reboot and appears to operate normally.

I did update the firmware with the new CW pot profile select version 2.89.

I will try re-loading the firmware. Any ideas otherwise?

Is the power supply OK?

The power supply was / is fine. I'm suspecting the wifi antenna was faulty or damaged. 

After reloading the firmware to eliminate that as a problem, I switched power supplies and then antennas.

The antenna swap appears to have resolved the problem. As designed, with a wifi signal problem the system would disconnect periodically. I have the system set to shut down upon disconnect.

Pleased that it was a simple and external fix.
