The switch is running stable for a few days. We are still monitoring the situation and will probably still replace the device in the next time.

Investigating

The currently installed switch has recovered a bit (and does not reboot twice per hour anymore). Therefore, we try to sort the switch setup over the weekend* and will hopefully replace the switch in the next week*.

* Please keep in mind, that there are no guarantees for the given timeline. Delays may occure.

We are planning to replace this switch, but are facing some crucial setup-issues (as shown in house C). We are currently working on setting up the new switch.

Most of the access points were now installed and are starting up. This maintenance has now been concluded

1 month ago 2026-07-30 09:22 UTC

We were finally able to find a potential cause of this issue. After deploying a fix for the already started access points in the ground floor, these seem to work correctly.

We will now try to enable further access points and will keep you updated.

1 month ago 2026-07-29 16:36 UTC

We are on track with installing the new access points, but we are still facing issues regarding onboarding the access points.

We are still facing issues regarding initialization of the access points.

1 month ago 2026-07-28 15:28 UTC

There are some minor update issues, which delay the access point setup.

1 month ago 2026-07-28 13:52 UTC

We have installed access points in the ground and 1st floor. We are currently in the process of starting the access points.

No incidents reported.

The problem has now also been resolved for CJD

Fixed

We were able to solve the stability issues for all houses except CJD.

Reported

1 month ago 2026-07-28 15:30 UTC

Due to unforeseen problems regarding software version differences between newly installed Access Points and the controlling infrastructure, there will be some minor network stability issues in the next hours, as parts of the systems will need to be updated to a newer software version.

As most of these systems are built redundantly, there should not be major network disruptions.

The newly installed network access points in house CJD cannot be enabled until after this update.
