My rnodes keep stopping working randomly: rnstatus shows rnode is still connected and shows the outdated info, but it doesn't update. I need to restart rnsd each time it happens. Though sometimes starts working without any intervention.
I have two distanced home servers connected via two rnodes over LoRa:
- postmarketOS (rnsd 1.3.7) + Heltec v4 (rnode 1.86) via USB
- OpenSUSE (rnsd 1.3.5) + Heltec v3 (rnode 1.86) via Wi-Fi
I encounter this issue on the both sides. At first, I thought the problem was with the Wi-Fi connection, but then I connected it via USB to one of the servers, and the problem persisted.
