Smart WiFi Plug $25 - For those who want to remotely reboot your Tablo

$24.99 CAD - TP-Link Smart WiFi Plug Mini - at Best Buy Canada and Amazon Canada

Good way to remotely reboot your Tablo if needed - was waiting for a sale on one of these to manage my remote Tablo.

If you want to do it that way, Amazon has one made by Kasa for $15.00 for two. Cheap enough and they work well. I use 5 of them around here for various functions.

Just say’n: I have several of those plugs, “smart bulbs” and a switch - TP-Link Kasa and have never had an issue with them.
The app works remotely just as well as when at home. Nice touch, schedule with offset to sun rise/set. I’m sure other brands work just the same…
I found these to be problems free and work voice command smart speaker system (aka Alexa)

Although I haven’t had hardly ever actually needed to reboot my tablo… if you do remote connect regularly, this may be a good idea for those just-in-case times.

Gosund also has a Wi-Fi plug for $7 ea, or 4 for $26. Most of my light bulbs and Wi-Fi plugs are TP-Link/Kasa, but I had a need for a few more so bought the 4 pack of Gosunds. One issue I had is that the plugs are 2.4 GHz only, and my router uses a single SSID for both 2.4 & 5 GHz, so I had to temporarily shut off my 5 GHz network to do the configuration, and then reenabled it post configuration. The plugs all work as well as the TP-Link ones.
