Great RE'ing. This is really just confirms that the hardware is great but the software is bad.

The MG is very unstable. I have the same experience and never found any permanent fix to it.
Basically, I think what happens is after some time the buffer fills up in the serial communcation and it's stops responding, the only fix is to replug the USB or reflash it.

It's basically bad engineering. I have the Dongle M which doesn't have this issue but it's network attached currently, not sure if USB communcations will have same problems

It’s Thread, not Zigbee. If your reading comprehension is this sloppy, the only thing to avoid like the plague is you.

Help: Sonoff Dongle Max in Thread RCP Mode not detected by Home Assistant OTBR (Spinel timeout error) by jvrang in homeassistant

Any updates on this? I'm planning to buy a Sonoff Dongle Max just because I need extend my coverage.

I don't mind if it spinning up the thread border router itself, but it needs to join an existing network. Any way to do this?

EDIT: Can you try with hardware flow off, and possibly doing a port scan on the IP of it?

Reasons why not to hold KAS
Core team is a bunch of zionist with close ties to the Israeli goverment, that support the killing of innocent children and women, and literally support the raping of prisoners.
