Triumph LS won't stay connected

When I connect my TR LS to my computer, via USB, it disconnect every 15 seconds or so and then reconnects in about 15 seconds, over and over again.
Any ideas?

Try another connection. I have mine here doing that... about every 5-15 minutes. But, If I go elsewhere, it works fine. My internet is messed up. There is a Telephone line, that serves my house, that crosses a river, and during the last storm, a tree took out some 5 poles, and the telephone line runs above ground, at that river crossing. That was when my troubles started. It was just flat off for a week.
Try the simple solutions, before you try the complex ones.

This is a known issue and is why we don't recommend file transfers through a USB connection to your PC. Adding a Dropbox account to your PC and LS is the best way to file transfers in my opinion.

Dropbox is a solid method for transferring files and is also a method for transferring files in real time to field crews. I like it a lot.

I have never tried USB. I do have problems with wifi staying hooked up. Ethernet seems to be quite dependable for me.

Do you have poor service. My LS works great with my home wifi and my jetpack when service is good. I have never even used Ethernet.

I do have DSL but I am at the end of the line, downloads around 1.7mbs and uploads around 250kbs. Ethernet connections on this seem to work fine with my LS.

When John Evers was here at my office and we were setting up my unit we had some problems with the wifi. I have tried it a handful of times since and it just doesn't seem to hang on to a connection very well. If I am out in the field and am using my Samsung S4 phone as a wifi hotspot it seems to work fine.
