Did the dual firmware update about 2015-2-15. Dongle firmware is v7.28.
The 536 is on 24/7. The following is recurring (see log below) while just doing normal scanning:
- The 536 screen stops displaying the WiFi icon.
- The dongle's light is on.
- Checking it through the 536 menu shows "WiFi busy".
- Wait about an hour, no change.
- Unplug and replug the WiFi module:
- The dongle comes back to life.
Note that the WiFi dongle lock-up is NOT the same as not being able to connect. The fact that Uniden's code is having the WiFi dongle
reconnect (rather than
renew) every five minutes is indicative of them recognizing there is a problem here.
