And thanks to her inability to discriminate between devices when (she thinks) the net is down, ALL of them within earshot in my house yammer at the same time. I've nearly smashed them several times today.
No, she has been her typical self with the equivalent IQ of about -33! But no senseless outbursts lately. But my internet hasn't gone down lately.

I put reminders on my iOS Calendar to remind me to reboot both the modem and the router on the 1st of every month. I still usually need to reboot at least once during the month too.

Same here, but it doesn't happen often. She does occasionally forget to turn on/off a light or change the color and/or brightness. If I give her a voice command to turn on/off a light sometimes I get that weird sound she makes followed by silence and no action. I think that is when the light is not contactable via Wi-Fi. Sometimes they seem to go offline for a bit, especially the Kasa lights and switches.
