SanDisk Connect Wireless Media Drive

[DraconianDevil]

Hello,

A year ago I bought a 64GB SanDisk Connect Wireless Media Drive. The drive has worked without any issues, but since this week (I am at my holiday location) the Media Drive is not working stable en needs te be restarted several times in an hour to keep working.

The problem is likely WiFI related. De drives loses its internet connection and also is not reachable via WiFi.

I found out I can telnet to the mediadrive and found some logfiles that show errors during the problems:

The sys.log file show errors like:

you could try reloading the FW and see if anything changes. Other than that the drive may be going bad and would likely need to be replaced.
