[LEDE-DEV] Debugging steps for FS#1246 - Ubnt Nanostation Loco M2 - WDS link drops out after a few hours

[Paul Oranje]

As a work-around you might setup a crontab that restarts wifi every 8 hours or something like that.
Once the root cause, whatever it is, has been dealt with the crontab entry can be disabled again.

with "crontab -e" you edit the file
for syntax, see: "man 5 crontab"

Regards,
Paul
