The Dreamcatcher 2301 itself is consistently running and downloading in a continuous manner. However, the wifi disconnects in a short time after it is connected. It seems to be around 4700 packets downloaded. That is the number downloaded total at the time the wifi disconnects, according to the figures shown on the GUI when the “connection error” takes place. It has changed in the amount of time connected. After 1.03 it did stay connected for a while longer, but still the same behavior in 1.03 and 1.05. It comes to about 80 minutes or less, depending on the Bitrate figure, and is usually right around 3 MB added to the SD Card. Right now it is stopped at 4714, and as the two examples I posted shows, this is fairly consistent. My lease time is currently set at 120 minutes. This is why I asked the question about if a static address would help, but I have seen no reply. I am not an IT mechanic, so am floundering a bit among some of this. Your input is definitely welcome!
I am open to making changes to my system if you have useful suggestions.
