I have a 2gig SP2 connected to my GC3. The SP2 loses connectivity to my wifi after it’s been up and running for a while. I believe it loses connectivity as soon as its DHCP lease runs out. Once the SP2 loses wifi connectivity, it will not reconnect until I restart the SP2. If I simply re-enter the wifi password and try to reconnect, it will not reconnect to my wifi. If I restart the SP2, it will connect without issues (though I have to re-enter the password every time). Signal strength does not appear to be an issue, and I have the same problem if I leave the SP2 in the closet next to my wifi router. I tried changing its network address to be static on my DHCP server (ie, always give the SP2’s MAC address the same IP address when it connects to the DHCP server), so it now gets the same address every time, but that had no effect. Is there some way to statically configure the IP address of the SP2 in the SP2’s settings so that it doesn’t need to use DHCP at all? Is there an option to connect the SP2 to a wired network? Is there another secondary panel I can use with the GC3 that allows for wired networking?
I saw that newer GC3 firmware was supposed to address connectivity issues with the SP2, so I upgraded the firmware on my GC3. Is there a corresponding firmware upgrade for the SP2 as well? After I upgraded the GC3 firmware to 3.1.3, the connectivity issues with my SP2 persist. In addition, I now have a problem with my GC3. Many times each day, I now get an alert on the GC3: “Radio Modem Network Failure”. I never received this alert before upgrading to GC3 firmware 3.1.3, the alert started occurring as soon as the firmware upgrade took place, it always clears itself right after the alert occurs, and it frequently clears itself before the beeps announcing the alert have finished. Can I downgrade to the older firmware to at least get rid of these nuisance alerts, or can you only go forward to newer firmware on a GC3?
