C6300V2 MODEM WON'T AUTO CONNECT TO INTERNET AFTER POWER FAILURE
I have had 2 power failures and each time the router restarts but the modem won't reconnect until I have disconnected then reconnected the cable to modem. Never had this peoblem with any other route...
I own the nighthawk modem/router so .... my latest troubleshooting reset the device, then restored my old settings. device rebooted fine. fortuitously a tstorm passed by and briefly lost power... may have fried the surge suppressor but the modem started back up
So maybe i just needed a reset. on the other hand, that leads to poor reliability if i am not at home to reset.
Pardon
Did not see this part...
"This is a combined cable/modem router so there is only one unit to turn on. The isp would only send a reboot command. then if that doesn't work reconnect the rf cable then power on/off everything else... pretty useless. So if you have separate router and modem you didn't answer my question."
Maybe you could request your ISP to provider to take back the Modem/Router combo and rent you a modem only, Unless of course you use their modem and your router as an ap/extender.

This could decrease your monthly internet bill
approx $10-$15 dollars a month.
