Keep Connect MAX Router Rebooter, Wi-Fi Reset Device, Monitors Connectivity and Resets When Required. No App Necessary. If You Enter a Phone Number it Will Send Texts Upon resets.

This works as intended. Setup was not very difficult, maybe not entirely self-explanatory how to choose options but defaults are probably fine for most people. I got this a couple of months ahead of a three-week international trip during which I wanted to be able to monitor HVAC at home as well as cameras, so I could try it out before the trip. Of course, I intentionally interrupted the internet by unplugging the cable to see how it works, and it did as expected. I did not lose internet connectivity with my home during that 3 week trip, which probably wouldn't have happened with my crappy and quirky home modem otherwise. In the 5 months I've been using this, it has been called upon to reset the internet connection 7 times. That is seven trips to the basement to cycle the plugs I did not have to do, including any trips I could not have made while I was away on vacation. After each reset and when internet is restored, it emails me telling me that it had done so, with a cumulative count of how many times it has done so (that is where the 7-count comes from). During the times that I was at home when the internet went down, it might have taken 5 to 10 minutes by the time it detected the fault, cycled the power, and then the modems had fully reset themselves. Not a big deal if the main reason is to be able to access remote devices when I am away from home. In my case, I have a U-verse gateway modem, cascaded into an Asus wireless/wired router. The Asus usually fails, but the Keep Connect cycles power to both modems at the same time. Fortunately, it does work when it powers both of them back up simultaneously, and some minutes later internet comes back. I could probably toy with the options to make it detect more quickly and reset sooner, but don't want to bother since the main goal is that it resets when I am not home and so my wife doesn't have to worry that I won't be home to reset it when it goes down each time. I guess it beats paying many times more money just to get a more reliable commercial-grade modem at home, I just use a cheap one and this Keep Connect and my connection is pretty reliable (or reliably resets...).

So far, so good. Bought this to reboot my T-Mobile 5G home internet gateway, when needed or on a prescribed schedule. Everything has worked well so far, but it has only been hooked up for one week. I will try to remember to update this review in a couple of months. Update 1: Keep Connect did it's first automatic reset today. Gateway started up successfully after the reset.

I work away from home for extended periods and VPN into my home network to perform various tasks. Unfortunately, my cable modem (of which I went through several and they all exhibit the same issue) has a habit of locking up and requiring a reset that can't be done remotely through my provider's app. At that point it becomes a matter of waiting for days and weeks on end until the modem becomes connectable just long enough to issue a remote reset or I come home first. Discovering this device has been a godsend. Since I've bought it, I've never had a problem connecting to my network. I can't tell if it's coincidence or if this device is doing its job. And that's a testament to this device that you don't even notice what it's doing, it just sits there and does its thing without you having to babysit it or pay it a second thought. That being said, you can configure it to send you a text or an email when it does its thing if that's important to you. It's very easy to configure, almost too easy. As a tech power user, I changed a number of settings from their defaults before ultimately returning back to these default settings when I realized it was perfect as it was. Just make sure if you're going to change a setting that you consult the documentation on their website to make sure you understand exactly what that setting does, because some of it is counterintuitive until you understand how the various settings interact with each other. All in all I'm pleased with the purchase and I hope these devices continue to be made in case I ever need another one in the future, due to the niche appeal I can see them having.

51 uneventful resets and still going. I have it set up to perform a reset once per week at 3am. I never even know it is occurring and it has kept my router connected throughout the entire time it has been installed. Previous to using the keep connect I would have to perform manual reset about once a month, and it was always when I needed my internet most. We do some extended traveling and monitor things back home with cameras, wifi lighting and temperature sensors. It was frustrating to have to call my house sitter or family member to go to the house and reset my router because the router failed to connect. During our last vacation. not once did we lose the connection. The reason for the minus 1 star is because I do not have any remote access to the Keep Connect to review any issues or force a reset. I think there is a way, but it's nit intuitive. I have the app but cannot log in and there is no option for support or password reset.

Easy to set up. No app required. Plug in and connect to the wifi network, and settings comes up. Entered wireless network information easily enough, it connected right away. Was setting this up for my 90 yr old grandmother, so I decided to unplug it from the wall, wait a few seconds and plug it back in ... and I ALMOST didn't do this because I assumed such a BASIC function would be well designed. Nope. Plug it back in and it just flashes yellow. Forever. Requires manually pressing the button, connecting to the interface, and clicking "Save" on the ALREADY ENTERED settings. Then, voila, it instantly is reconnected. It'd be nice and automatic. If it weren't a MANUAL process. Thought, I'll check their site for firmware updates. I can see the current firmware name and chipset information, but in all their wisdom decided not to provide the downloads in an easily accessible area. Instead, there's a broken web form that does nothing. Tried 3 different computers. If you're into tech like I am, if a bigger device doesn't bother you then just go with the Digital Loggers brand. They've been around forever, firmware downloads on their website, and solid as a rock. Thought it'd be overkill for this situation. If they get it together it will be a nice product. And maybe it would work great if you live in a perfect world with no power outages. But I even tried killing my Wi-Fi signal to make sure it would reconnect. Nope. I was trying to get this set up for my grandmother before a flight in a few hours, so she wouldn't be without Internet if her connection went down, while I was out of town. Sorry, Grandma. Think we're better off without this for now. UPDATE: I had preconfigured this at my place before going to where it was to be installed. Added an identical SSID/password to my router for preconfiguration purposes. While it would not connect to my Wi-Fi without going through settings (I have Ubiquiti UniFi WiFi 6 and 7 APs), but once I did it would instantly connect as I said.... When I tested at my grandmother's place, situated super-close to the router, it fired up fine and connected. So, it's possible that this was due to Wi-Fi congestion at the condo I'm in. I was testing it about 10 feet from the Wireless AP at my place. I just still find it strange that, if I connected to it in AP mode to get to the setup process, and hit "Save", it would connect at my place within 5 seconds. If it can connect like that, it should be able to do so on its' own. IMO. Guess this is a situation where YMMV. Great concept and fills a definite need. Amazing that the Kasa/etc haven't added this as a feature to their plugs. (For me, I have the UniFi Smart Plug that's like $20 when in stock, but it requires UniFi hardware. It works great though.) Good luck! Will update once it's been in place for awhile, to let you know how things are working...

This product works for what I need. My need was that occasionally (3 times a year) my router will lock up. Normally I just reboot the Wi-Fi with no issues but when I'm away on vacation it's a problem as I cannot reboot and without the Wi-Fi, I can't control the sprinklers, see cameras, etc. I've also found it nice, even when home, to have it automagically handle the issue and not to have my wife panic when she can't watch Netflix:). The setup took a couple tries but mainly due to my incompetence, once I understood it was simple.

We're retired and travel frequently for weeks at a time, leaving our house unoccupied. We have numerous devices that depend on wifi such as inside/outside motion detector security cams and the HVAC thermostat/controller that for peace of mind we want to stay in contact with while gone. However, sometimes while we were thousands of miles away, we'd lose contact with the house and could no longer look in on it or get notifications from the various devices. We assumed the power must have blinked off or for whatever reason the modem just needed a reboot as sometimes happens while we're home, but we didn't know that for sure. All we knew is that we had lost contact with the house and there was no one there to check on it and if needed reboot the modem. It had to wait days or sometimes weeks until we got home to reboot it ourselves. At some point it occurred to me there must be a way to prevent this, and thankfully, there is. My research quickly led me to the Keep Connect Rebooter. That was a year and a half ago (Aug '24) and the Keep Connect continues to work flawlessly. The device simply plugs in between the modem and outlet and monitors the wifi signal. If the device detects no wifi signal, it reboots the modem automatically as many times as needed until a signal is established, basically doing automatically what someone does manually by unplugging and re-plugging in the modem. It then sends you an email or text notifying you that it was done and signal reestablished. The process is seamless and automatic. Recommended. This review will be updated if/when further relevant info becomes available. No updates = no problems.

No Ethernet, only WiFi, but runs stable. Setup was a bit annoying as the instructions are not clear whether to start with an app or not. No false shut offs in the two plus weeks I’ve been running it. Only one legitimate shut down has been triggered (by a test) and I got a text notification (if you set this up). Default trigger time is a while, like 4 minutes of no internet before a restart, kind of long, but I suppose it needs to be long enough for the modem to restart without powering down before it can catch up. I changed up my internet after getting this (replaced a router) and this did not require me to reset the device. It just logged back on once the same named WiFi network was restored. I like that I haven’t had to reset this device or set it back up at all. No Ethernet plug is a drag but the WiFi connection is stable and it works like it’s supposed to, so get this if you need it.
