Blink camera not working overnight only

Hello, all of a sudden my blank camera is not working overnight. It works fantastically during the day, but not overnight. I'm wondering if my Wi-Fi is suddenly going to sleep overnight and if so how I can fix it.

@user_k84ja7Good afternoon! We appreciate you reaching out to our Community Forums Team for assistance with your cameras. I can see how your cameras not working would be a concern. I would be happy to assist you in getting some answers. Usually, there is a system update overnight where your modem would reboot, but it should come back up within about 5 minutes. Are you experiencing multiple drops and long period of downtime?

Yes, with the camera. It doesn't seem to record anything between around 9:00 p and 6A

@user_k84ja7 Gotcha! That is a bit more of an extended period than you would normally see with a system update. Before we get started, are there any troubleshooting steps you have already tried on your end? Repeating the same steps can be frustrating.

I've reset the blink modem several times. Recently, our television started going to screensaver after 4 or 5 hours as well. I'm wondering if this is related and somehow it's going to sleep at night
