- How Does Keep Connect work?
Here's an overview of Keep Connect's General Operation: All highlighted text are default values and can be modified.
1. Every few minutes (5 minutes), Keep Connect monitors your internet health by attempting to reach a primary domain (google.com). If the primary domain is unreachable, it will retry after one minute using the secondary domain (cnn.com). If both attempts fail, Keep Connect concludes that the internet is down and proceeds to restart your router.
2. After restarting the router, Keep Connect waits for a few minutes (3 minutes) before attempting to reconnect to your WiFi network and check if the internet is available. This is to make sure router/modem already supplying internet before KC
3. If the internet is still down, Keep Connect continues to restart your router (repeating step 1) until it successfully detects internet connectivity. The default value for the maximum allowable resets is 3 (adjustable up to 99).
4. If the maximum allowable restarts are reached (e.g., Keep Connect restarts your router 3 times), it will wait for a couple of hours (4 hours) before attempting to restart the router again (for up to 3 times).
5. This loop continues until Keep Connect successfully regains internet connection to monitor your internet health.
Lastly, Once Keep Connect reconnected to your WiFi and finds a healthy internet, Keep Connect sends a notification that a reboot or power cycle was initiated.
- What’s the difference between Keep Connect and Power Pal?
Keep Connect primarily works with routers that need monitoring and automatic reboots. While PowerPal helps homeowners detect power outages. While it is not required for PowerPal to be with Keep Connect, they make a perfect pair for easier detection of different outages, whether related to the internet or power.
- Is the Keep Connect Cloud Service necessary?
The Keep Connect as a device does NOT require the use of the app. Keep Connect as a device still performs its intended role of constantly monitoring your network and automatically rebooting your router/modem when a loss of internet connection is detected, ensuring continuous online availability.
The app just offers additional features such as checking reset logs, remote monitoring of Keep devices, adjusting settings remotely, and triggering manual resets. This option is particularly favored by customers who own multiple Keep Connect devices or have units placed in remote locations, as it allows them to conveniently monitor their KCs' statuses.
On the other hand, users who do not subscribe to the Keep Connect Cloud Service can monitor their device statuses on our status page (https://www.johnson-creative.com/status/). - Can it be used for power cycling devices other than routers?
Keep Connect is versatile and not limited to routers alone. It can be seamlessly integrated with cameras, allowing monitoring of camera connectivity to WiFi, and automatically rebooting when specific conditions are detected. Moreover, Keep Connect offers the option for scheduled reboots of cameras or other WiFi devices. If you have a unique or creative plan for utilizing Keep Connect, share it with us, and we'll gladly assist you in configuring Keep Connect to suit your desired function.
