Describe the bug

Hi @nlimper

I bought the Mini-AP plus a few tags in your shop. After a while I noticed that the Mini-AP is not running stable, its is either restarting in a weird pattern or being stuck in a failed state (red led). When unplugging / replugging the power it is sometimes healing itself but mostly it its not. I have the feeling that there is a loose contact or something at the usb connector (see video). I tried multiple cables and plugs but always the same issue.

I also updated the Firmware of the AP to most recent v2.52 but unfortunately it didnt resolve the issue. I uploaded a few videos and a photo that shows the issue.

I hope that you can help me resolving it.
Best,
Timo
