Yeah, I've seen similar issues with Wi-Fi dropping out and devices not reconnecting right away. Usually, unplugging and plugging back in does the trick, but it's definitely annoying when you're already stressed about leaks. Still, like you said, way better than dealing with a flooded basement at 2 AM... Been there once myself—nothing wakes you up faster than stepping into icy water barefoot in the dark.
"nothing wakes you up faster than stepping into icy water barefoot in the dark."
Yeah, that's a brutal wake-up call for sure... I've found that Wi-Fi connection issues with smart leak detectors often come down to router placement or interference. A few things that helped me:
- Move your router or detector slightly—sometimes even a foot makes a difference.
- Check if your router has separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels; many detectors prefer 2.4GHz.
- Consider a Wi-Fi extender if your basement signal is weak.
Might save you from another barefoot ice bath at 2 AM.
