San Diego, CA - Devices connected to the Internet of Things depend on a reliable Internet connection to be present in order to work properly. Now there is the ResetPlug -- a new device introduced this week that restarts a network link after an interruption. It automatically resets WiFi equipment and tests the link to the Internet Service Provider (ISP) after detecting a WiFi failure.

No one likes the chore of powering off a router to get WiFi Internet working properly. With [ResetPlug](http://resetplug.com), embedded software restarts the WiFi equipment after an outage and tests the connection.

When connected devices depend on a network -- for work, home security, remote access to media or critical data -- ResetPlug provides peace of mind for all connected equipment. Proactive and always-on, this device works at home, in the office, or for remote networking.

People rely on WiFi and networks more than ever, and a simple, automatic thingie to check their connections is a real convenience," said J.C. Fulknier, founder of MultiNet, which developed and makes the ResetPlug. People don't know they need it until a problem occurs. Then, instead of resetting each device manually, ResetPlug handles it and restores the network connection."

ResetPlug can handle any WiFi router, WiFi access point, and broadband modem individually or in tandem. Even if the router, AP, and modem are three separate items, all of them can be reset via one ResetPlug. Every type of service, Cable, DSL, and Fiber, can be managed.

ResetPlug checks the Internet connection every minute. If an outage is detected, it resets power to WiFi equipment to reestablish an Internet connection. In case of an extended outage, It will continue to test at five-minute intervals until the link is restored. And the simple plug-in design makes it compatible with existing items from surge suppressors to battery back-up.

If the router, access point, and broadband modem are separate devices, plug them all into a power strip, then plug the power strip into the ResetPlug at the wall outlet. In no time, the ResetPlug is a monitor for all three items. An interruption to any one, will trigger a reset and helps bring all three devices back online.

When I'm away from home, no one is there to unplug and replug in my router when my Internet connection drops," said Trevor Brent from Lisbon, Iowa. I have to wait until I can get there to reset power to it manually. This is a great insurance policy that I can count on anywhere I go."

WiFi security systems, security cameras, connected thermostats, WiFi smoke alarms, and other IoT devices all rely on a working connection but any outage or interruption takes those crucial devices off-line. ResetPlug helps keep devices connected.

Pricing / Availability: ResetPlug costs $99.99 each, or a three-pack for $249.99, via online order at [ResetPlug.com](http://resetplug.com).
