I've had an Airlink for about two years and up to about 3 months ago, it worked fine. it is mounted outside, but sheltered from rain, etc. About 3 months ago, it would occasionally stop reporting (I would receive a message from Davis that it had stopped). If I did a reset, it would start working again. At first this only happened about once a month, but about 2 weeks ago, it began to happen daily. At first, I thought that possibly it was not receiving a good Wi-Fi signal, so I remounted it, but that did not help. I also tried switching out the USB power supply, but that did not help. When I checked my router, the unit was sometimes not shown as connected to the network and sometimes as connected even when no data was going to Davis. Lately, it has started working again.
I contacted Davis support and got a generic "it has failed" messaged and to contact them about replacing the unit.
Now that this unit has been around for awhile, I am curious if anyone has had any issues. I am also curious if anyone has disassembled the unit and if something like moisture intrusion could be an issue and if cleaning is feasible or helpful.
I went through the standard setup using DHCP on the network. I can't recall if there is an option for a fixed IP address, which may or may not help.
