If the Yeti was connected to a network via Cloud Connect and has lost connection, it will enter a "connection lost" or "reconnecting" state. The Yeti will repeatedly try to connect to any of its known networks for up to 10 hours. If the Yeti is unable to reconnect to our Goal Zero App servers for 10 hours while in this state, the Wi-Fi will be disabled to stop using excess battery.
💡 NOTE: Your Yeti is able to store up to 3 different networks. Read more.
If the Yeti's Wi-Fi is currently off, to get reconnected, ensure your home network is back online and within range of your Yeti. A simple press of the Wireless Button will re-enable the Wi-Fi.
The Yeti's Wi-Fi will turn back on into CONNECTING mode.
