Router reboot and Rachio goes offline

post by Plainsman on Jul 31, 2024

Hello, have my new rachio controller working well. Only issue is when the wireless router reboot the rachio won’t reconnect?

Connectivity at the rachio is about 50mbs down and up.

It seems the rachio doesn’t reconnect without a power cycle. Any solutions?

Thank you

Replying to my own post as I called support and we seem to have it resolved.

I have a asus x57 router. If I connected to 2.5 or 5 it didn't matter. Once I rebooted the router the Rachio 16 would need a power cycle.

Support suggested a 2.5 dedicated connection so I did that (running on guest) and its reconnecting after the router is rebooted.

Im not sure why this worked, but it has so far.
