After every power outage or flicker, my router does not reconnect to the modem even when the modem has internet back.
Which router? Which modem?
I can't find an "axe 7800" model in the Netgear catalogue. R7800? Yes. But that uses AC2600 WiFi technology.
I saw that sort of behaviour when I had a modem/router working in modem only (bridge) mode in front of a proper router, an R7800, by coincidence.
It happened because the modem took so long to reconnect that by the time it got there the router had given up waiting and timed out. My answer was to get a modem only modem and to bin the modem/router.
Just another user with time on their hands.
- The router is a netgear nighthawk axe 7800 triband wifi 6e. The modem is a spectrum et2251. I have a tp-link ac1750 that reconnects on its own after a power loss. We upgraded to this expense nighthawk and it’s been a pain.

- No, not at the same time. We upgraded from the tp-link to the nighthawk. I have attached the info on the bottom. I’m not sure what FW stands for. The cord is a cat 5e.
It won’t let me attach my photo but its model number is raxe300.
