Update ArloQ firmware to re-poll for WiFi after power outage

Here's an idea for the software people.

 

I live in an area with frequent power outages, and each time we have a power outage, the camera fails to re-connect to the router. All other WiFi based equipment succeeds, only my ArloQ camera fails.

 

It's fairly obvious that after a power outage, the Arlo camera is up and checking for a WiFI connection BEFORE the router starts broadcasting - so, for some reason, the camera tries to connect once, and then just sits there dumbly saying "Well, I *tried* to connect, and no-one answered, so now I'm going to stop trying."

 

As a software developer, I know that it's a simple fix to have the camera re-poll for it's home WiFi router after a period of time, if it loses its connection. Can we have this fixed, please?
