OK – here is another hypothesis. It looks like the unit can send data to the community server even when I cannot access it locally. I think what could cause that is if DHCP renewal is not handled correctly. My router would take the unit out of the ARP table and it would seem to disappear from the LAN. But it is still on the network and able to send data (stream it anyway). However, when the server tries to send a message back to the A3, it would get ‘destination unreachable’ from the router. Eventually, not seeing something from the server, the A3 reboots. It gets the initial DHCP information correctly and carries on until the first DHCP renewal operation where it gets kicked out of the ARP table again … and repeat.

Is there some way to make the unit use a static IP?
