how do I reboot the wifi on the thermostat when it goes offline?

You can't do it remotely. Update the current software to a memory card per Venstar instructions, then remove the Skyport wifi, insert the memory card, use the touch pad to download the updated software, remove card and replace with the Skyport wifi.

Wish I knew. Works one minute then goes offline after a few weeks. Its not my network as I have cams that stay connected. Just buggy hardware. Great when it works.Only thing that works is pull the card. Reboot then put the card back in.

I wish I knew. I am having the same problem so I am hopeful that someone else will know the answer.

It should do it automatically unless you lost power to the furnace, if it did go in to your settings and re enter your wifi password

Just disconnect the Skyport and reinsert. This will reboot and should reconnect to wi fi.

I have been unsuccessful in turning it off and on so I unplug it when the temperature is warm

No you do not have to reset up the wifi if it loses power. The unit retains the information. I have moved it to multiple locations and never had any problems with it working and it was easy to set up out of the box.

Turn to off and then turn it back on. Sometimes you my have to unplug it for a couple of minutes.

There is a vacation mode you can trigger by wiring a pair of wires to the thermostat and using a contact switch which can presumably be controlled by the multi-zone system. I ran the wires to control mine but I haven't hooked it up to anything yet.

No reboot required. You run a commit command and settings load without causing an outage.

Press the power button on and off. That usually reset it for me. Or just unplug for ten seconds the plug back in and press the power button

It's funny that this is a WiFi unit and can't pull the current temp from the web. Would be nice, tho!

No. You can operate the thermostat just as you would a normal thermostat but for remote operation, you must have the unit synced with working internet (wifi) connection.

The thermostat retains the last settings if that is your question. If power is out, your HVAC is out of commission anyway :-)

internet is required ONLY IF you want to use the wifi capabilities of the thermostat.Functionally everything can be done manually from the unit without wifi.With wifi though, you significantly enhance the convenience capabilities.

My best guess? No! I was surprised when I replaced my non-WIFI version of this thermostat with the WIFI version. The three double or triple A alkaline batteries in the non-WIFI were replaced by a single, flat, sort of mercury-looking cell in the WIFI. So this single cell is not going to power anything very long - maybe just preserve settings in a power failure. A final comment is that Honeywell has a surprisingly good email technical assistance system. I would suggest asking the experts.

Go into System Properties, Hardware, Device Manager. Then go into Network Adapters, right click Atheros Wireless Network Adapter and choose Properties. In properties go to the Advanced tab, click on Power Save Mode and turn it off! No more issues since I turned it off and it even reactivated my wifi! I have not tried/tested the Normal setting yet, but it may also work. Apparently the power save feature of the network card glitches out and you can disable that useless feature.

Yes. It is a fully functional thermostat even if wifi is not available or off in your home.

You can install the program Honeywell Total Connect Comfort on your Smart Phone and use that program to remotely logon and control your thermostat. The thermostat must be connected to WiFi for communication.

Yes. You can do it either from a web browser, by going to www.mytotalconnectcomfort.com, or by using an app on your android or iPhone. You can turn the unit on or off, set the temperature and swich between heating and cooling. I should mention that you must also have the Honewell Red Link installed and operating in conjunction with your home wifi router.
