I recently switched from a 3 hop retransmit across 1000 ft by multiple Davis Vantage Pro2 links to WiFiLogger2 across an AirMax backhaul and the weewx server has been running well for several months. I had one problem with the WiFiLogger2. It seemed to disconnect from its vLAN network every 4 days or so, which caused weewx to going into a waiting mode and not reconnect. WiFiLogger2 eventually reconnects after about 2 hours, but weewx needs to be restarted after that. I fixed this problem by running a short shell script as a cron job once a day to restart WiFiLogger2. WifiLogger2 has been stable if restarted once a day.
WifiLogger2 replaced a Davis Weather Envoy 6316 with a USB interface. I found the 6316 would freeze every 8 days (running 5 minute update intervals). This was the case under WeatherLink for Windows, WeatherLink for Mac, and Weewx. Must be the USB driver. Again, a cron job to restart weewx (or the other programs) every 7 days fixed the problem. Wojtek at WiFiLogger2 has been very responsive in helping to trouble shoot the disconnect issues. I am happy with WiFiLogger2.
