# How to ensure device stays connected after restart

We use browser cookies to maintain the connection between devices and the Roombelt account. On some older devices, the connection breaks after restart. You can force the device to stay connected by following the steps below:

1. In the Roombelt administration panel, click the three dots button for your device and select "Reassign".

2. The lower part of the "Reassign device" dialog contains a permanent URL for the device (see screenshot below). Set it as the home page on the device running Roombelt.

3. From now on, the device will be connected to your Roombelt account even after restart.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.roombelt.com/tutorials-and-troubleshooting/how-to-ensure-device-stays-connected-after-restart.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
