Yes it shut down tonight after I disconnected the Smart Connect this past Sunday. So the signal stayed connected a little over 3 days until shutting down again.

did you ever try a factory reset and reinstall?
I did Not do a factory reset or uninstall/reinstall.
I pressed the black button on the back Or I unplugged it and plugged back in the wall.
So I don't hvae to look it up, how do I perform a factory reset?
