I’m having some issues with my Balena device, running a jetson 2gb devkit. At first, I had no issues to connect to the device locally (i.e. balena ssh 192.168.0.151). After some time I can no longer even ping the device. However, I can start a terminal to the device from the balena cloud dashboard just fine, so it has internet access. Also I can ping the balena device from my router.

Please see debug information below. I’m wondering if anyone else is having similar issues?

Details about setup:

1. Jetson nano 2gb devkit
2. Using a wifi USB dongle: TP-Link USB WiFi Adapter for PC(TL-WN725N)
3. DHCP assigned IP from router to: 192.168.0.151
4. Balena cloud shows two MAC addresses. I assume one is from ETH and one for WIFI?
