Blue light stops blinking

Troubleshooting

What does it mean when the blue light stops blinking?
Sometimes after a long cut or even moving the router a fair distance manually, for example 2000mm, the blue light stops blinking and I can no longer talk to the maslow at all. I assume the blue light only blinks when it is connected to wifi?
I have it connected to my home wifi, the wifi signal is still strong and active on my laptop next to the router.
Does the maslow automatically try to reconnect if it loses connection? Is there a way to force it to try reconnect?
I had hoped that if it lost connection it might at least activate its own local wifi so that i could recover it but that didnt happen either

The maslow has a very poor antenna, so you can have other devices right next to
it reporting really good signal strength while it is unable to connect.

I think it makes that decision at power up.

This is correct. I am not totally sure what the behavior is if it connects to wifi at start up and then loses the connection. I think that it should try to automatically reconnect and then the blue light should start blinking again, but I’ll need to check that

Would be great if you could, it doesn’t seem to try to reconnect when it’s lost connection as far as I can see. I left mine sitting for a good while and it stayed disconnected. If this is the case and power cycling is the only way to get it to reconnect then it would be really good to have the state stored somehow over the power cycle to avoid the retract/extend/apply tension
