I agree there should be a soft reboot option for it, pulling the plug as the only possibility is quite odd But your network problems are the main issue imho. Like Pro 2016-2019 models, Homey Bridge only likes a dedicated 2.4GHz wifi connection. There’s even a dedicated topic: > [@Problems connecting your new Homey Pro to your WiFi? Try this!](https://community.homey.app/t/problems-connecting-your-new-homey-pro-to-your-wifi-try-this/10161): > > Make sure your WiFi is using the 2.4 GHz network. Make sure your WiFi uses the b / g standard, only n or ac does not work. Turn off your Homey. Restart your Router and any Access Points that distribute IP addresses. Start your Homey again. If the above do not work, turn off 5 GHz WiFi and support for n and ac in your Router / Access Point during Homey installation. Ensure that your SSID (the name of your WiFi) does not use characters other than numbers and letters - do not us… When it’s connected to one of several AP’s, make sure it isn’t allowed to roam. Bind its IP address to its MAC address (“reserve IP address”). --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/reboot-homey-bridge-from-within-the-homey-app-or-in-a-flow-even/154535)._
