Resetting WNDR3400 v3 after power outage

It's best that you get a UPS to plug your router for it to stay on.

Thanks for your suggestion. However, I currently have and have had previously other routers that automatically restart after a power outage. Is there a setting or something that can be reset on this router that makes it restart itself after a power outage, rather than purchasing another piece of hardware like a UPS?

Thanks

There's no setting on the router to adjust or tell that it should restart itself.
