it depends a bit from how your Wifi is acting, but you could check this:


So we tried that setting on a test downtime. As soon as the device lost wireless it was prompted with this pop and never reconnected on its own. If you hit ok, it will reconnect which is cool but end users would not know when to hit ok and they might close out of the box.
