Cerbo losing connection

I have a Cerbo on a boat and now and then the thing loses the wifi connection to a T mobil trashcan. I usually am disconnecting the power on the Cerbo and then get connectivity again. Is there any way I can automate this versus driving 15 miles to the vessel?

You could get the Cerbo to reboot when VRM contact is lost.

Via remote console. Settings > VRM online portal > Reboot device when no contact . Also adjust, No contact reset delay.

Mine does the same, is it the wifi inbuilt that has an issue like the Bluetooth due to overheating I wonder?

No. It is just intolerant of iffy wifi/internet connectivity.

If your wifi has a dual 5/2.4gHz network, try creating a dedicated 2.4ghz network for it. Bandsteering can also cause issues for some devices.

Mine is connected to two locations, and randomly it will disconnect but it's still saying connected on the unit.

It will keep staying connected until I open up wifi menu when it will refresh the wifi around me and reconnect.

One location has dual 5/2.4ghz but no Bandsteering.
