Hi Folks,
Not too serious, but I'm having a sporadic, recurring problem with the Local Status Panel not always searching in. It works fine for awhile, but every so often I start up my PC and it won't connect. I've found that if I power down the Classic for a second, and bring it back up that it restores things to normal. what I don't like about this is 1) I can't power down if it is windy (wind mode), and 2) I have to reset the date and time each time. I assume there may be a better way to do this, or to avoid the need.
Some details: the Classic is connected with a CAT5 cable to my Linksys (E1200), then it's wireless to my laptop. The cable is longer than needed. I think it is 50', and a ~25' 'ter would probably get it (it was just what I had). I think I read where this can be a contributor. Auto-detect is enabled. The net connection is set for Static mode; IP: 192.168.1.130. I haven't done the latest software update, currently: Classic Rev 1401; Network rev 1194.
Appreciate any tips. Thanks, ~ks

I would update the firmware on that Classic. It sure seems to have fixed that issue here.
I have 2 Classics one with FW 1758 and Network 1674 and One with FW 1754 & network 1674. I don't see that issue like I used to so I think it was fixed along the way? Some still have the connection issue but I do not so I suggest an update.
Just a first thought.
Firmware and instructions are over here:
