        Honestly I think this happens when you update the Pi…I don’t believe it’s MM doing this.

          Just a short information, after changing the powersupply to 5V/2A instead 5V/1,5A it now seems stable. I now only get a rekeying-message every 10mins in the syslog, which I suppose is my FritzBox. :)

          I’m using the internal WiFi - apparently withou power saving off. But seems OK.

            @binderth I found that 2A isn’t enough for the pi3, when under heavy load it would fail. The raspberry 2,5A power unit is highly recommended.
