I setup my recently arrived Mesh hardware, and although the Argon has worked very well the Xenon is causing all sorts of issues with connectivity.
All are running 0.8.0-rc.27 firmware.
Connecting to local WiFi through Argon reliably and also by setting Wifi Credentials in the firmware it can be taken from one place to another and connects happily and fast to the new networks.
Xenon - Android app used to enrol in mesh - slow, but fine. Started off running Tinker, as expected after the updates ran.
Then I ran the Photoresistor example code on the Particle Web IDE, which could see the device, but after each flash it would still be running Tinker, even though the LED sequence looked right.
Multiple resets later (button, pull power) it flashes and runs the code, but each time I go to update it is unreliable, showing the correct LED sequence, but still running the old code.
Checked firmware refresh through CLI, ran through the SSL key check procedure, reset.
Now when started it MAY connect and send a few publish events, but then goes into a cycle of connecting and disconnecting.

Then it all repeats.
With the 3 x orange and the 1 x red error codes I tried the Red Blink Basic Errors procedure here: https://docs.particle.io/tutorials/device-os/led/xenon/, and it worked, without errors, but the same stuff happened afterwards.
This occurs with the units physically close together as well as 10-20m apart, on different power supplies, on battery or off.
Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted as I am very keen to use the mesh functionality.
