WiFi Slow after 2-3 days until reboot?

Good idea. I am going to do the same for now. I was suspicious about whether my ancient TP-Link smart plug would work without wifi after it shuts the router down. To my suprise it does work. Interesting!
- Hahah...yep, I was surprised too. I use the ones from Kasa and they appear to store schedules locally in the plug, which is fantastic for this kind of thing. Totally solved my problem but still irks me. We have a satellite in our bedroom and I had to put a sock on it because the flashing purple light at 4am was waking my wife up due to the reboot. C'est la vie!
