## Description

WiFi Checker is a Chrome extension designed to help you monitor your network connectivity effortlessly. It regularly pings your default gateway every 15 minutes (or as allowed by your OS's power-saving settings) to ensure your WiFi connection is active and stable. 

If the connection fails three consecutive times, WiFi Checker promptly notifies you, allowing you to take timely action. The extension continues to check connectivity even when your device screen is off, although it pauses checks if WiFi is turned off. Stay informed about your network status and avoid connectivity issues with this lightweight and efficient tool.

## Review summary

Users like the auto reconnect feature and travel usefulness, plus a simple UI. Yet many reviews report reliability problems: it often fails to reconnect after disconnects, cancels checks, or interferes with Wi-Fi, sometimes turning it off or breaking other apps. It also struggles with authentication errors and hotel networks and shows compatibility issues on some devices like Android TV. Overall, the app has potential but is inconsistent and risky to rely on.

### Pros

- Automatically reconnects to Wi-Fi when the device is disconnected
- Helpful for travel by keeping you connected with less manual reconnecting
- Simple user interface that is easy to use
- Maintains a Wi-Fi connection and can help save data by reducing manual reconnects

### Cons

- Unreliable reconnection with reports of failing to reconnect after disconnections and canceling checks
- Reportedly turns Wi-Fi off or disrupts other apps, causing additional connectivity issues
- Does not handle authentication errors well and lacks a manual force reconnect option
- Compatibility and stability problems on certain devices or networks, such as Android TV or hotel networks
