Power Outage Reconnect Hierarchy
When the base station and wireless cameras have been connected to a particular wireless network, and then there is a power and or internet outage, there should be software written by smart people to tell all these devices(base and cameras) to wait and reconnect to the original wifi network to which they were previously connected, not just try to reconnect to some other random or available at this time wifi network. Please someone program this. I dont need my base station and cameras trying to reconnect to someone else's wifi network or one of my extenders that have a specific purpose.

Hi @dschrode ,
The Base Station, and all of our camera models, are able to connect to only one WiFi network at a time. Indeed, to switch to a different network would require going into the settings and manually setting it up. So if there was ever a power outage, all of these devices would try to reconnect to the same network - assuming that network is available.

Let's assume it was possible to connect to more than one network (it's not) how could it connect to another network w/o knowing the credentials to authenticate to that new network?

That is strange as all of our simplisafe devices automatically connect to the internet when power or internet comes back on, even the one outdoor camera I have on an extender it will automatically hook back up to that one, have you tried rebooting the whole system to see if that will fix anything?
