Usually you have to boot up the modem first. Interesting that it works that way with your device.
wonder if its a function of using the 2.5g port on it.
Does it do the same if the router is connected through the 1gig wan port?

It doesn't matter which port I use. I've tried it on the multi-gig 2.5g/1g port and the internet port and the same behavior exists.

Hate to say it but so long as it works, I wouldn't worry about it.
Makes it a bit of a pain when power dies/flickers but if it bothers you enough, pick up a cheap UPS to prevent that from being an issue.

Was planing to get a UPS in the future, it really doesn't bother me atm but I'll forward this to NG Support to let them know there an issue with this.
