My android phone doesn't automatically reconnect if it goes out of range

My android phone doesn't automatically reconnect if it goes out of range

This is a real pain... everytime I take my phone away from the house and come back again, I have to tap the screen on the modem to reconnect the phone.  Can't it automatically connect once it is in range again?  Thanks for your advice in advance.

Hi @Jamie1234

 

Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

 

If there is no activity for a period of time, the device will power down to save battery power. Pressing the power button will wake it up. You can change the WiFi standby time by doing the following:

 

Access UI > Settings > Setup > Wireless > change WiFi Standby to Disabled.
