I've replaced 3 RG-1000's this year that were doing that. I just figured
they got a little more electricity than they could handle. I never even
bothered to try the reload. (well I did on one last year but it was a
failure...so I decided to not repeat my failures)
Anyway....it is VERY strange that immediately after loading the BIN it works
for hours/days.

Subject: [Karlnet] Configuring KN-100 SAT SOHO (possible dumb question)
OK, I've got a really odd problem here that I'm either missing something
dumb (always possible), or something really bizarre is happening.
I've got a KN-100 that I had to do a forced-reload procedure on. I go
into forced-reload mode, set an IP address, open the correct BIN and LKF,
save it to the board, and it reboots as it should.
Then, I do a local scan, it finds the unit, I assign an IP to it (same one
I used in forced-reload mode), and it's fine. I can sit there all day
long (literally, been pinging/monitoring it for >24 hours now) and
connectivity is perfect.
I configure the IP settings (in this case, 192.168.251.99, 255.255.255.0,
gateway 192.168.251.254), touch nothing else, save the config to the unit,
and it reboots.
Here's where it gets wierd.
Right after reboot, the unit responds to pings a few times (4-8 to be
exact), and then it drops off the face of the Earth. A local network scan
doesn't see it, nothing. I power cycle the unit and I get the same thing.
What am I doing wrong here? I've fiddled with the ethernet port settings
(defaults to 10M/half, tried 100M/auto and auto/auto with the same
results), and tried two different hubs/switches (Linksys 5 port
autosensing and a D-Link 8 port 10/100) and neither did anything
different.
Link lights are fine on both the KN-100 and the switch port.
Am I missing something really dumb, or is there something deeper going on?
I'm trying to load 4.44 into the unit, and when it stops responding, the
power LED is green, ethernet green (and see's activity), middle two LED's
red BTW.
Thanks!
Brad
