Good morning and thanks for the reply.  I had already looked at those things which apply to my environment.  And I realize in the couple times this has happened to me that there have been contributing/external factors.

I guess my request/comment would be is that bad things can always happen in a network.  It would be nice if a device that has reasonable expectations of being reachable remotely has a way to reestablish its connection to the mother ship.  Something like a keep-alive that tries every now and then to reboot/reconnect and get itself back online.   

If the device's use cases include being left home alone it's important (to me) that they have some rudimentary way to fully recover from a network anomaly.  No idea how much or how little local processing you have available but maybe something for future firmware? 

Thanks.

Thanks.  I did reboot my network devices (more than once) and while the plugs re-established wifi connectivity they never regained internet.  Its as if they are content if they have wifi and don't attempt internet connectivity.  A quick un/re-plug and they are fully back online.  

As I said this is not a normal failure in that most times they recover from interruptions just fine.  But now and then they get into this funky state.

I only know what I can see.
