Hi Ray
Yes, I’ve had many years in IT so by OS I meant operating system and that I’d upgraded the Operating System on the Router. Apologies for not being super clear.
Back to the issue of OpenSprinkler 3.0 programs stopping when wifi is lost, is there a way to stop this happening?

I’ll also add that our wireless router has both an OS and firmware. We only upgraded the OS on the wireless router. Given the behaviour we’ve been able to replicate, I think we can safely say that the wireless router isn’t a factor with the issue we’re seeing.

Hi Ray

Apologies for not being completely clear. We upgraded the OS on our Wireless Router that provides connectivity across our site. It was when we rebooted the wireless router after the upgrade that we noticed the behaviour that I have described. I’ve since been able to replicate the behaviour by going into our Wireless Router and temporarily disabling the wireless interface and then re-enabling it. After wifi comes back up, the OpenSprinkler 3.0 device reconnects automatically without any problems. Sadly any programs that are running when wifi is lost are stopped and don’t automatically restart when wifi reconnects.
