Ever since I started using a WiFi dongle to connect my hubitat, it loses track of its own IP address after some number of days (a week or two, usually) and only a reboot fixes it. This means that dashboards won't load, and my own apps that depend on being able to query the hubitat for its IP address…

I was recently helping a customer with a financial app problem - his realtime graphs were kicking errors. I discovered that his wifi dongle (TPLink) was very old and would drop out during the day. It would reconnect, so it was initially hard to discover. Maybe try a different dongle? He had used th…

[image] dan_herron: it loses track of its own IP address You might want to expand on what you mean by this. If you are unable to connect to Hubitat because of network connectivity, how are you determining what happened from that point of view? What does it look like on the router side? Is it…

Thanks -- I updated the original post to make it more clear.

Ok, it's been a decent while since this happened, so let's optimistically say your hunch was correct, and this was fixed in 2.3.4. Thanks!

i have done all this already but it still does not seem to work. first issue is that it seems to be inconsistently telling me that the drivers are or are not installed plus it never seems to get tot the place where you enter the wifi setup details.
