OBI200 operation unreliable since May 2018
SteveInWA:
Well, you won't be thanking me, if you buy a new one, and it fails the same way :o :o :o :o
But, the only other thing I can suggest to isolate the issue to a bad device vs. a bad network service, is to physically take the existing OBi device somewhere else, connect it to some other internet service, and see how it performs over a couple of days.
NoObiKnObi:
That's an idea, although difficult for me to implement. Maybe my first shot will be to swap the switching power adapter with the one from my old Obi110, to rule out unstable power.

Your situation sounds eerily familiar to the one I posted in another thread. Did you ever make any headway on this? My device loses the third light and its network connectivity and needs a manual reboot roughly every 24-26 hours.
NoObiKnObi:
Yes, hamfastgamgee, it sounds similar. I have been attempting to isolate the problem without much success. Recently, however, I noticed that if I boot the Obi200 after the router finishes it's boot process the OBi is much more stable for the day. So I am suspecting the handshake between the OBI and router. Sadly, I have a four year old rented Spectrum Arris DG1670 modem/router. If you tell me you have the same router then that is very likely the issue. I think my next step will be to buy my own modem and router, and also save the outrageous rental fee in the process.
hamfastgamgee:
Well, I do use Spectrum, but I have my own (Apple) router. The modem is included in the Internet fee and they no longer offer discounts to bring your own, so I do use one of their modems, which I am getting swapped out next Monday for a newer model.
However, given that several of the issues I was having were present in one version of firmware and went away with the next, I am still suspecting some edge case in the Obi firmware, maybe related to some daily refresh token or similar.
