900Mhz Pentair bridge issues or troubleshooting

[mjolsen74]

Hey..

New to pentair systems (coming from omnilogic at my last pool), have the full intellicenter panel and apparently the 900mhz long range bridge that plugs into my network.

I had this unit running what I felt was running well for the first two months and all of a sudden I couldn't connect to the pool via the app... Turns out as I started troubleshooting, I could ping the intellicenter on the LAN but had extreme packet loss and latency.
What was odd, from day 1 it seemed flakey (app connectivity) and now I realize it was just some issue which appears as packet loss. Rebooting sometimes recovered but the other day no power cycle or reboot was restoring it.

I know the cables were all good (tested) but ultimately decided to move the network side directly to my core network switch to eliminate a network run. Plugged directly in and it came back to life.. but then started doing it again, significant packet loss and latency (like 3500ms) and ping loss of like 80%

I've rebooted it a few more times and it started working... mostly. It can run for hours without packet loss and once in a while it seems go bonkers again

Anyone see anything similar with these units?

Sounds like you have some other 900MHZ device that is causing interference with the wireless bridge.

Try a different wireless bridge, like from TP-Link.
