So simple, so freaking smart.

When your Wi-Fi stops working, it may be because your router is freaking out and needs to be reset.

HOW ELSE WILL WE ENTERTAIN OURSELVES??

So, you're watching Game of Thrones and you're about to see the cliffhanger and then.... the BUFFER OF DEATH.

In most cases, resetting your router will fix your Wi-Fi because that clears up its cache/system so that it's free to load your TV show.

The problem? Having to get up and actually reset your router.

*If you're still curious about wtf is going on, you can find a more detailed explanation here.

ResetPlug ($60) is an outlet adapter that will reset the router so your lazy ass doesn't have to! It's seemingly dumb/simple but secretly genius.

ResetPlug

When the Internet stops working, the plug will automatically turn your router (and/or modem) on and off until the connection is restored.

The plug constantly tests your wi-fi connection to ensure it's working. The plug has an LED light that indicates your Internet's status. Solid blue means you're A-OK, blinking blue means there's an outage and your plug is resetting the Internet, and slow blinking means you haven't set the ResetPlug yet.
