Keep having to unplug network

[Emporium]

How a device recovers from a standby will vary from one chipset to the other.   Because of that I never even bother with standby.  Just way too annoying with many devices (not just buzz).  Hell, even laptops crap out their wifi connections after standby or hibernates.   90% of my devices are now hardwired (does not make them immune to network issues - but it is better).  But the one thing I decided many years ago, is that media boxes are just not worth putting in standby mode.  Take all of 45 seconds to boot them clean from scratch, and when it is a clean boot, they typically always initialize properly.  Instantaneous gratification of the box turning on instantly, just to find out some hardware stayed asleep, is just not worth it.

Why not change the powerkey definition from standby to shutdown (which in my opinion should be the default) and save yourself all the headaches for now.  If it can be fixed, I am sure Buzz will eventually look at it.

If you want to debug/test it any further, then obviously a pin hole hardware type factory reset should be the first thing to do to ensure there is nothing latched somewhere during some previous update.

My X5 has similar issues, just purchased and here are the issues.

Every so often the unit gets stuck in Standy Mode will not power wake. Have to unplug the power which resets the unit. This happens at least once or twice a week now. Second issue is in Standby, the X5 drops connection from the WiFi. This has been confirmed I can go to WiFi setings and the signal it was "connected" to now says "saved"

You have to actually manually connect again. These 2 issues are annoying and after reading these Posts, there may be a firmware issue. This is not a IPTV Server issue. This is not a Router issue because other Buzz U5s work flawless.

I used a U5 in this same connection scenerio with no issues for years. Only the X5 has 2 intermitting problems.

 

turn off bluetooth and try with IR mode for a week and see the result.
