OK, just had my service call on my restart and network problems. It was anti-climactic, but good. When we walked up to the unit, of course it had gone offline. So he changed out the SD Card since the service folks had called for that. But that didn't fix the network! So, I dragged out an old laptop and plugged in the cable. I couldn't get online with that, either. So, I grabbed another cable and plugged into the wall. Now, it worked. So, I looked at the connectors on the cable that Sunwest ran over to the Blink...
It turns out the installer didn't know how to wire the ethernet cable he installed. He wired it brBRgGbBoO. Since he made the same mistake at both ends, it kinda worked, but not very well. The Blink tech was very patient as we worked through the problem, and had RJ-45 connectors and the crimper, so all we needed to do was crimp on new connectors and Voila! Since we had changed the SD Card, we had to sit through a software update, and I'm crossing my fingers that I don't have to reenter my electric rates. The tech said, to contact support if they don't download, and they can push them down.
So, bottom line...install problem, not a HW or SW problem.
