Investigating

Update - June 11th

We’re aware of ongoing connectivity issues that may have caused some Hotspots to go offline, stop passing data, or report missed heartbeats. While a temporary fix (rebooting affected radios) was implemented, some units continue to be affected. The team has identified a suspected cause related to recent backend and firmware changes, which is currently being validated. We will continue to keep the community informed as progress is made. If you are affected, you can attempt to manually reboot the device. If not successful, please reach out to support.

Ongoing Efforts:
* Support teams are now equipped to remotely troubleshoot or initiate RMA when necessary.
* Firmware and backend improvements are being prioritized to prevent recurrence.
* We’re enhancing our communication workflows: expanding status page updates, community engagement, and adding in-app notifications.

The next update will be tomorrow June 12th
