When I had similar issues they advised to reformat the USB plug, or replace it.
And that has worked for me.


Enjoy,
Paul

I have checked a couple of old support tickets that may help and gives an email contact atlas@ripe.net

I have had to reformat my current USB stick a few times but overall it has been very good over the past year or so.

Hello Paul,
 Thanks for your email.
 The only fix we have currently is the formatting of the USB drive. You could try a replacement drive if you have one available.
 If you log into the RIPE Atlas page here you can set your notifications to alert you sooner if you would prefer:

 If you have any further questions, please let me know

Hi,
This is the 4th time it has failed in the last few months. I have again followed Alastair Strachan's suggestion for reformatting the USB and possibly it is back working again? I do not regularly check the website to see if it is reporting so up to a week before I am notified and realize it is not. Is there a more permanent fix?
 
Thanks,
Paul

Hello Paul.
 Thanks for your email.
 The best thing to do in this instance is:
 - Power off the RIPE Atlas Probe
 - Remove the USB stick
 - Power on the tp-link and connect it to the network
 - Wait for 5 minutes
 - Insert the USB stick while the RIPE Atlas Probe is powered.
 Please let me know if this doesn't work and the probe is still not working correctly.
 
 If you have any further questions, please let me know
 
 Kind Regards,

My unit died on me several months ago. I tried all of the normal things of reformatting the USB drive. I even went as far as ordering a special brand (don't remember which one at the moment) that had been recommended by someone here in this forum. None of them helped so I broke-down and and sent the RIPE ATLAS folks an email asking for help. They too asked that I try the same fixes and I told them none worked. So, in the end, they sent me a new RIPE ATLAS unit along with a brand new USB card. I plugged it in and it immediately came to life. I did have to register the new unit and then deactivate my old one with a new ID. I still get monthly status reports for both of them and the old one still shows as not reporting.

Go to the RIPE ATLAS website by this link: https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/32849/. Note: change the probe # to whatever your device is registered with. You'll have to log-in to see all of the details of your probe and to contact support.

My first email that they sent to me they told me that if the probe that I have is not working that I should apply for a new probe. and that is what I did. :)

Yes, that is what I had to do too. However, make certain you tell them that you are a current member and give them your probe id number. It took several weeks for me to get through my issue.
