In one embodiment, a method includes accessing steady-state operational parameters for each of a plurality of network nodes of the multi-hop wireless network recorded during a period of steady-state operation, identifying a plurality of first network nodes and a plurality of second network nodes, wherein each of the first network nodes is determined to need a planned reset, and wherein each of the second network nodes previously established one or more wireless connections with one or more of the first network nodes, respectively, adjusting operational settings of each of the second network nodes to establish one or more temporary wireless connections between one or more pairs of second networks nodes, respectively, resetting each of the first network nodes, adjusting operational settings of each of the second network nodes based on the steady-state operational parameters to reestablish the one or more previously established wireless connections with the first network nodes.
