That is exactly what it did. Unplugged and plugged back in and everything is working perfectly.

It was blinking blue the other day. I basically unhooked it from the controller and plugged into my laptop got distracted with whatever else was going on and then plugged it back into the controller and it started working again at that point.

Is there something i am doing wrong or is there something else i need to do to get it to stay connected correctly? I am not so great with computer stuff but am not an idiot and will get something figured out if i am pointed in the right direction.

I basically followed the "wifi attachement manual" following method 1, i used a document which doesn't have a title on it, at least no title page printed, which says it is a step by step guide for worldwide access to your reefangel server, and i don't know if i did this last one correctly or not about setting up a static IP.

I have got the port forwarding figured out or at least working and i think i have a DHCP reservation on my router for the controller and i am not sure if that is different than a static IP or not.

Is there anything else i need to do to make this reliable? I am wanting to add password to it as well but i wanted to make sure everything was working properly before i take that step.

That looks like it is loosing the connection.
Is it far from the router?

Not at all. I could literally set the wifi adapter on my router.

Maybe some unknown interference?
Are you able to try it on another router?

unfortunately, i don't have another router to use.

So I am getting this error again but only on the android app and only on cellular network. Any ideas how i could fix this?

Check the port forwarding on your router

I checked it again. It seems to be working. But now the portal is giving me the unreachable host error again. This error is the bane of my existence

I has to be port forwarding.

When you check port 2000, what do you get?

"Port 2000 is open"

After some tinkering the portal is working again. problem with the DNS. The app still won't work unless i am on my wifi.

On the app, you must use the same ip address shown in the portal.

Looks like that was the problem.
