Wireless Extender Automatic WiFi Connection Restoration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Manual intervention is often required to restore connections in wireless local area networks when wireless extenders lose WiFi or MQTT connections, reducing efficiency and affecting network service performance.
Innovation Solution
A wireless extender with a processor that automatically detects packet reception thresholds to restart WiFi and MQTT connections, using control signals to reset modules and reestablish connections, and switching user terminals to alternative access points to minimize service disruption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual intervention is used to restart the wireless extender to restore connections, then connection restoration can be achieved, but the efficiency of failure recovery is significantly reduced and network service performance is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless extender automatically detects connection status by monitoring packet reception counts and autonomously restarts the WiFi module or MQTT client when connection failures are detected, eliminating the need for manual intervention and thereby improving failure recovery efficiency while maintaining connection restoration capability
2Productivity
If the wireless extender continuously monitors connection status and automatically restarts modules, then failure recovery efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system monitors connection status by counting packets received within a predetermined time period and comparing the count against a threshold value. This parameter-based monitoring approach provides a simple and effective mechanism to detect connection failures without requiring complex monitoring algorithms or additional hardware components

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a method, a device, an extender, and a computer medium for automatically restoring connections. In this method, a wireless extender records the number of packets received from an access point within a first predetermined time; the wireless extender compares the recorded number with a predetermined threshold; and in response to determining that the recorded number is smaller than the predetermined threshold, the wireless extender restarts a WiFi module used for WiFi communication in the wireless extender to reestablish a WiFi connection with the access point. By automatically detecting the WiFi connection status and automatically triggering the restart of the WiFi module, it is possible to attempt to restore the WiFi connection without manual intervention, thereby improving the efficiency of network restoration.
