We had a momentary brownout and I had to reconnect 2 of my 6 smart swithes from scratch. Is this normal? Why only 2 of 6?

@Drummer1Berger 

Hi,

Normally, the smart switches would recover automatically when the power came back.

Have you checked if a single reboot could recover the connection?

If not, what is the LED status of these two switches?

Thank you very much and wait for your reply.

Rebooting the wifi or the switch? Both switches had a solid red led.

@Drummer1Berger I have the same issue where my switch won't reconnect after the router is cycled, which could occur from a power outage. I'm guessing it's due to the switch looking for an IP address, then giving up after it doesn't get one immediately. I have to push the restart button under the main button to get it to reconnect. It seems like a firmware issue, but TP-link's support told me that's simply the way it is and I should just live with having to restart it all the time :-(
