Dash cannot maintain wifi connection
-
I have received 2 Omega Dash and they both exhibit the same problems.
They are dynamically assigned IP addresses from a Verizon G100 router with a lease time of 17 minutes(1020 seconds) over wifi
from a network named "disabled" (really!) which uses Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server 4.3.6.
Everything is OK for hours at a time.
Frequently
connectity is lost for anywhere from a few minutes to an hour.
During this time the blue LED blinks.I have not yet begun to develop my display applcation.
The only things I have running are cron jobs to display uptime, IP addresses from ifconfig to /dev/tty and
save the log to /mnt/mmcblk0p1/logThe log entries (315 lines ) are at https://Real-World-Systems.com/omega/wifi_dies.log
++Any suggestions to resolve or diagnose this problem would be appreciated.

@Dennis-German I can't see any specific cause in your log so my guess is there is an issue with the quality of the wifi signal. Since 2.4G can use channels 1-11 I would try setting your channel to a specific one and see if you reliability improves.
There are several products available that can analyse your your wifi quality and interference, but the simplest option is to try a few channels and see which one works best for you.
