Loose power connector loses configuration (1.7.3 firmware)?

tz1

This has happened to me more than once on my CTR350.

I had a loose connection on two occasions, so it would connect and disconnect every so often. At least 5 times after it had a very short connection period I had to reload the configuration file (and with all the javascript and junk on the pages, my n810 took a long time to load the web pages, login, wait until the status page is completely rendered, go to tools/advanced, upload, hit restore, do reset).

Once I had to hit the reset button.

I don't know what happened other than if I applied power, then quickly removed it (before it was completely up) I had a better than even chance of losing the configuration, and the default configuration is really annoying since the reloaded configuration doesn't save the "approved MACs" for the default.

They need a more robust configuration store, or perhaps they are detecting that because it didn't boot up fully the last time it is assuming something is wrong and zapping it (let me hit reset if it really is bad).

You can CC this to the "features I'd like added".

Well since 1.7.3 is a beta, then I'm going to go with try this with an actual release firmware.

CradlePoint and 3Gstore keep saying it's beta, it's buggy, and it's got problems we know about, so I wouldn't exactly say this is a valid point.

Load the latest released firmware and do this again, then we'll have something to work off of.

The latest "release" doesn't support the UM-150, so I personally can't do so.

And I would assume they would like to fix bugs in the beta, if that is what is causing it.
