I have had this issue and believe it to be related to DNS config. In my case, directly referencing the IP of the gateway resulted in no more Timeouts. I suspect the designer does not ask for the client to log back in if the connection to the host is broken. This is a guess though. > [@Can I reconnect to the network after being disconnected in the designer?](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/can-i-reconnect-to-the-network-after-being-disconnected-in-the-designer/64672/3): > > I had this issue when I used the hostname instead of the IP for the gateway. Most likely due to DNS config/Docker, I've not resolved it, though IP works just fine. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bug-8-1-4-rc1-designer-crashes-multiple-times-a-day/45155)._
