RBK50 wont reconnect to internet after restart
My RBK50 worked flawlessly for the past 2+ years then recently we had a power outage and now it won't detect the internet connection. I can connect to the wifi network it broadcasts but it says no internet connection available. I'd I plug the ethernet straight into my xbox it works perfectly, but then I plug it into the orbi and "no internet available".
The most interesting piece is that it'll work fine after I do a factory reset, until the first time it restarts after I've set it up through the app. I cant go on living with a factory reset every time the orbi restarts. Helllllp before I revert to my trusty nighthawk :(

How often does it restart? My Orbi stays up for 70-80 days until I do something to it.
Please do not be tempted to think a firmware update will "fix everything". Whether to leave 2.3.5.30 is still an open question.
- It doesn't restart on its own, only with power outages or when unplugged. Never head issues in the 2 years I've owned it until now.
