So I had this problem for along time and I finally figured out that it was
because I had two routes to my cerowrt, and my desktop usually picked the one
where it's origin address was not in 172.30.42.1/27, but that IP was in fact
still reachable...

Well, I had web access to the device.
You'll have to get the 3.3V USB connector, I think.
I ordered 10 from AliExpress a few weeks ago... I haven't a clue if they are
easy to add or no.
