statuschange

The statuschange event is executed when the status of the Wifi connection changed. The possible statuses are:

connecting
Fires when the device starts the process of connecting to a network.
associated
Fires when the device has connected to an access point but do not yet have an IP address.
connected
Fires once we are fully connected to an access point and can access the internet.
disconnected
Fires when we either fail to connect to an access point (transition: associated -> disconnected) or when we were connected to a network but have disconnected for any reason (transition: connected -> disconnected).
