Why EPS units drop off the network, and the firmware that fixes it

EPS units on firmware v2.2 sometimes stop answering on the network until their power is cycled. These documents describe the bench investigation (three units, a NETGEAR M4250 switch and a real EPS box), a full code analysis, what was found, the rewritten firmware, and the case for making v3.3 the official firmware — v3.2 plus the gaps the code analysis found, tested overnight against every earlier version.

Why v3.2 should be official

The earlier decision brief (2026-10-11), kept as it was. v3.3 contains v3.2 unchanged and adds the gap fixes.
