We did a lot of testing and firmware fixes to get this working '8098, and we appreciate all the good feedback and pushing us in a good direction. In our latest tests we have the error rate down to the 2%-5% range and that’s about all the performance we can pull out of the current wifi modules that we’re using. The issue comes down to the flurry of packets which HA ends up sending to establish a wifi connection, our module cannot deal with the storm. Hope you can understand.
And as Fandu mentioned, there is a fix in the works with a new model of the Airlab coming out in a few weeks. If you’d like to arrange a swap when its ready we can do that for you.
