- Reviewed in Canada on June 1, 2025Verified PurchaseEasy to set up.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 26, 2025Verified PurchaseIt works great. My router often stops resolving DNS lookups, causing loss of connection, and never recovers unless I unplug it. Annoying when I'm home and have to run over to it; worse when I'm away and need to reach my Smart Home devices and cannot. Keep Connect has detected every outage (28 so far in three months) within 5 minutes and has reset it.
Note: Initially it didn't work. I went into the advanced settings and looked at them. I changed one, then decided to change it back. After doing this it worked fine.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 16, 2024Verified PurchaseAn absolute game-changer! I can't believe I only discovered the Keep Connect Router Wi-Fi Reset Device now. Dealing with sporadic Wi-Fi issues for years, especially with my security cameras and alarm system losing connection, was a constant hassle. The stress peaked whenever I traveled abroad and my Wi-Fi would disconnect, leaving me anxious and forcing me to trouble relatives to reset it to reactivate my security systems.
This ingenious device automatically recognizes a Wi-Fi dropout and resets it. It's like it was plucked right out of my dreams!
It's already proven its worth during a recent Wi-Fi outage. The device swiftly detected the lost connection, cycled the power, and had my Wi-Fi operational in under five minutes.
I also subscribed to their cloud service for a nominal annual fee of $25, adding an extra layer of convenience and remote control.
Kudos to Johnson Creative for this innovative solution!

Using their subscription service, also allows me to remotely reboot them as is sometimes necessary to reestablish connections with other connected devices like thermostats, cameras and the like, saving travel to remote locations as had previously been necessary. It works well and highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars This appears to be just the device I was looking for
Verified PurchaseUpdate 2/19/25 - It’s been over 4 years and the 254 resets that Keep Connect has performed have kept my connection available every singe one of those days. That’s a phenomenal accomplishment. Bravo Zulu Keep Connect!
Update: 8/7/23 - It’s been over 2.5 years and Keep Connect has worked flawlessly. I’ve not experienced any prolong outages since deploying it. Sure beats having to drive 150 miles every month or so to reset my router as I had to do before Keep Connect.
Update: 11/16/22 - I’ve been using Keep Connect for almost 2 years now. It’s working better and more often than ever. I recently switched from a mom and pop AT&T bandwidth reseller to T-Mobile’s Home Internet. My old connection almost never went down so I would go months without Keep Connect having to do its thing. This T-Mobile connection has many more problems and Keep Connect is sometimes kicking in several times a day to keep the connection up. I appreciate this device more than ever.
Update: 8/28/22 - another year has passed and Keep Connect is still working flawlessly for me. More importantly, my remote connection has remained available.
Update 4: 7/15/2021 - Keep Connect has been working for me as advertised for about 7 months. I have it set to power cycle my LTE router once a week and it has handled the occasional connectivity issues just fine. No complaints at all.
Update 3: 1/27/2021 - In a previous update, I mentioned that you can set Keep Connect to automatically cycle power on a particular day and time. Turns out that isn’t entirely accurate. On a Tuesday I set mine to automatically cycle power every 7 days at 10:00am. One might think that this would cycle power every Tuesday at 10 :00am thereafter. However, what it actually seems to do is to cycle power seven days from the previous power cycle. So if Keep Connect cycled power on a Saturday (unscheduled) due to a connectivity issue, the next automatic scheduled power cycle would be seven days from Saturday, unless of course their is another unscheduled event in the meantime.
Update 2: 1/9/2021 - My LTE internet connection had some hiccups this morning, which Keep Connect recognized and in response power cycled my router. The power cycle did reestablish the connection. The text I received when this happened is attached. Bumped my original 4 star rating to a 5.
Update: 1/5/2021 - I have my Keep Connect setup to automatically power cycle my router every Tuesday at 10:00am. That functionality seems to work as advertised. I received a text message from them informing me of the auto reset.
I am using this device to keep an LTE-based internet connection up at a remote cabin.
Before purchasing this device, I tried several different but similar devices, none of which worked for more than a few months. These other devices were more brute force. They simply cycled power on a device on a predetermined schedule. Keep Connect differs from those other devices in that it is intended to join a WiFi network and monitor it for certain connectivity issues. It then is supposed to power cycle the device plugged into it in response to those connectivity issue. It does also have the capability to cycle power on a schedule.
The included configuration documentation and the information provided on their website is pretty sparse.
When you first plug-in the Keep Connect device, it creates a new, temporary WiFi network to join in order to configure the device. When you connect to that temporary SSID (I used an iPad), a configuration page will automatically pop up in a web browser. From this configuration page you select Configure WiFi and then on the subsequent page, select the Wi-Fi network’s SSID you want the device to join and monitor. You will also need to provide your WiFi network password. You can also provide a cell phone number for Keep Connect to send texts to on certain events, such as when it power cycles your router. I left all other options on the main configuration page at default values. I suggest you also select the Advance Configuration option at this point. From the Advance Configuration section you can select a schedule to power cycle your device, among other options. If you later want to change any of the configuration options, you must hit the main button on the front of the device and reconfigure from scratch. It’s not a difficult or time-consuming process though.
Once you save your configuration, you should receive an automated text message from Johnson Creative (assuming you entered your cell phone number) which lets you know that their back-end set up is complete. It also provides a code which can be used from their website to remotely query your device. None of the information returned from this functionality was sensitive, but you should be aware that Johnson Creative is remotely communicating with your Keep Connect device. The information returned is essentially the date and time of previous power cycles and a timestamp of the last time they communicated with your KeepConnect device.
I intend to update this review once I know that it consistently does what it claims. The reason for my initial 4 star review is that I currently lack that information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Resets internet router when I am unable (or just unwilling) to do so....
Verified PurchaseThis works as intended. Setup was not very difficult, maybe not entirely self-explanatory how to choose options but defaults are probably fine for most people. I got this a couple of months ahead of a three-week international trip during which I wanted to be able to monitor HVAC at home as well as cameras, so I could try it out before the trip. Of course, I intentionally interrupted the internet by unplugging the cable to see how it works, and it did as expected. I did not lose internet connectivity with my home during that 3 week trip, which probably wouldn't have happened with my crappy and quirky home modem otherwise. In the 5 months I've been using this, it has been called upon to reset the internet connection 7 times. That is seven trips to the basement to cycle the plugs I did not have to do, including any trips I could not have made while I was away on vacation. After each reset and when internet is restored, it emails me telling me that it had done so, with a cumulative count of how many times it has done so (that is where the 7-count comes from). During the times that I was at home when the internet went down, it might have taken 5 to 10 minutes by the time it detected the fault, cycled the power, and then the modems had fully reset themselves. Not a big deal if the main reason is to be able to access remote devices when I am away from home.
In my case, I have a U-verse gateway modem, cascaded into an Asus wireless/wired router. The Asus usually fails, but the Keep Connect cycles power to both modems at the same time. Fortunately, it does work when it powers both of them back up simultaneously, and some minutes later internet comes back. I could probably toy with the options to make it detect more quickly and reset sooner, but don't want to bother since the main goal is that it resets when I am not home and so my wife doesn't have to worry that I won't be home to reset it when it goes down each time.
I guess it beats paying many times more money just to get a more reliable commercial-grade modem at home, I just use a cheap one and this Keep Connect and my connection is pretty reliable (or reliably resets...).

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid WiFi signal, reliable power reset
Verified PurchaseNo Ethernet, only WiFi, but runs stable. Setup was a bit annoying as the instructions are not clear whether to start with an app or not. No false shut offs in the two plus weeks I’ve been running it. Only one legitimate shut down has been triggered (by a test) and I got a text notification (if you set this up). Default trigger time is a while, like 4 minutes of no internet before a restart, kind of long, but I suppose it needs to be long enough for the modem to restart without powering down before it can catch up. I changed up my internet after getting this (replaced a router) and this did not require me to reset the device. It just logged back on once the same named WiFi network was restored. I like that I haven’t had to reset this device or set it back up at all. No Ethernet plug is a drag but the WiFi connection is stable and it works like it’s supposed to, so get this if you need it.
