Hi @kristi ,
Not a known issue. error -71 on the descriptor read happens before the WiFi driver loads, and getting worse over weeks with only a power cycle recovering it points to a failing part in the USB path rather than software.
Working on a PC does not rule out the dongle, since we have seen these Alfa dongles fail in service
(https://forum.modalai.com/topic/4538).
On Starling 2 Max the dongle sits in the M0141 breakout on VOXL 2 J3, so the likely fix is replacing one of them:
Try a new AWUS036EACS or AWUS036ACS (https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-2-wifi-setup/).
If a new dongle fails the same way, open an RMA so we can inspect the board: https://www.modalai.com/rma
Posting voxl-version and dmesg | grep -i usb from a failing boot would help us confirm.
