# 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.
