Rocket M3 intermittently dropping RF link and rebooting since 3.23.4 update

[ai6bx]

The title says it all. There is no consistency to the time intervals between this happening. What is consistent is the RF drops happen multiple times at varied intervals before a power cycle reboot occurs.

I don't see reboots, but I do see a couple of short strong 5 GHz links dropping periodically, when they never should. Unsure how to troubleshoot.

Perhaps this will help identify the issue.

The node just spontaneously rebooted again 16 minutes ago. Is there data I can collect that will help identify issues?

[aanon4]

Not really - the nodes dont have the ability to log why they reboot. Is there any possibility there's a power issue with this node? Are you having any trouble with your other Rocket M3 hardware?

Suggest measuring voltage at the node if possible? How much cable and verify 24v 1a power injector?

It looks like the Rocket radio is failing so will plan a trip to replace. @Orv, did you figure out how to troubleshoot the 5ghz drops? I am having some of the same with evidence manifesting in linked repeater and packet drops on ping.

Keith, nightly build 20230603 resolved the specific instances of link dropouts I was seeing.  Recommend updating some or all of your problematic links (especially those using 802.11n gear) to the latest nightly build and monitoring their behavior.
