How to reconnect to Wi-Fi without completely resetting the Roomba?

I have two model 105's on different floors.
Yesterday one needed help and said it was disconnected from Wi-Fi. I did the troubleshooting steps and was in the screen to change or reconnect wi-fi. It ended up completely reseting the Roomba requiring a new map.
Well, today the second Roomba has done the same thing. How can I get it to reconnect to my wi-fi without a total reset and remap?
I must be missing something that causes it to need a new map like I was setting it up the very first time.

Edit to add that the app is telling me one unit did a software update yesterday and the other says today. I'm not sure if that is accurate or an artifact from resetting.
9.4.8 (I3.6.152) on both.

List of what it's saying

Where can I find the list of what my 105x is saying?
I get the charging one, dust bin installed and I think it says returning home to charge.
Anything else it says I can't understand and just curious what it's saying.
I did look but haven't found the list.

Skipping commercials while streaming and have satellite

I have regular DirecTV using satellite dish and a box for each TV. Works fine and on occasion I lose signal during heavy rain.
When that happens, I'm offered to switch to streaming to continue to watch. Streaming works fine too.
Problem is when the DirecTV DVR records while connected to streaming, I can no longer skip commercials in the recordings that its made.
For that reason, I usually don't let my boxes connect to the internet.

Am I doing something wrong with my setup that I can't skip commercials that are recorded during streaming?

What makes it a 105X?

Without doing much research I ordered a Roomba model 105X. Price seemed good and decent reviews, but I can't figure out what makes it an X. I haven't received it yet.
It doesn't have a self-empty function that I see on some. Is it an X due to improved programming or stronger suction?
Just curious what the difference is, because I haven't been able to find a chart.
I hope I'm in for a pleasant surprise.

Pentair VSF3 Programming Question

I like to set a manual speed when using the heater. I also have various scheduled programs.
The information I found in the app makes it sound like a manual setting overrides scheduled programs and will continue in the manual program until changed in the app.
What I'm finding is that the next scheduled program overrides the manual program. In my case it slows down the pump further than I want to while the heater is on.
Did I misunderstand the information or am I doing it wrong?

Spectrum Wi-Fi router with Deco X20's

Spectrum sent me their Wi-Fi router that is supposed to enhance the 1G service that I just upgraded to.
I also have a Deco X20 mesh system that I was using previously.
Is it ok to switch the X20's (3) to be access points and connect the main Deco via ethernet to the Spectrum router and use the Decos and Spectrum together in my network?
I've set it up and it seems to be ok, but not much different than what I had with just the Deco's.
Am I getting potentially better coverage with all 4 devices on WiFi? Have I caused any interference issues that I can't tell?

I'm supposed to receive a new wi-fi router to go along with 1 gig service. Guy on the phone kept calling it a mesh router, but it sounds like just one box.
I currently have Deco X20's around the house for decent coverage. Is this new "mesh" router going to give me the same coverage as my Deco's?
He claims it will improve my system performance. Already have a new modem, which was just like my old modem according to the guy at the Spectrum store when I picked it up.
Supposedly no charge for router service, but we'll see when the bill shows up.

I didn't click on any of the links, and my router says it's up to date. Is this email a scam or an attempt to get me on their router?
Email address looks correct from Spectrum.
Sorry for the formating. Had trouble copy/paste.
