In the event of a power outage, you can now use an outlet designed to monitor your WiFi router or modem and then keep re-setting it if your Wi-Fi fails.

User can plug their Wi-Fi router into the ResetPlug (which plugs into your ordinary socket) which acts as a Wi-Fi client to test the Internet connection. If the Internet doesn’t to work, the ResetPlug will cycle power to the Wi-Fi equipment to re-set the Internet connection.

The ResetPlug continues to cycle power every five minutes until the Internet works again.

The device cycles power every five minutes to keep all of your Internet devices connected.
