djinncoyotePer this Tablo forum thread, you should not choose the "Disconnect" option in the app unless you want to connect to a different Tablo. Disconnecting makes the app "forget" the current Tablo.
But suppose you didn't realize that, and have disconnected and want to reconnect. Or suppose you purposely disconnect in order to switch between multiple Tablos. Then, when you open the app the next time, it will prompt you first for your zip code. Then it will prompt you to turn on your phone's Location if it isn't already turned on.
Then it will prompt you to select either Wi-Fi or Ethernet for connecting the Tablo. This is where you can run into a problem. If you select Wi-Fi, because your Tablo was originally set up to use Wi-Fi, the next screen tells you this, as if you were setting up the Tablo again from scratch:
Check LED Indicator
Ensure that your Tablo's LED is pulsating slowly
The Tablo's LED *won't* be pulsating, because it was already set up. The app will not recognize this, and will remain on that screen with no option to continue.
The way around this problem is to go back and instead select Ethernet (even though the Tablo is connected via wi-fi). There will be a screen telling you to connect the ethernet cable to the Tablo. Ignore the message and select to Continue. Then the app will find the Tablo and let you connect to it.
