AC2400 No Wifi After Restart
Whenever I have to reboot my router, all of my devices that connect via wifi have trouble reconnecting. Sometimes the wifi will come back, but most of the time it does not. I usually have to restore ...

Well, the power just flickered and the same thing happened again. Tried turning off modem and router, then turning on modem and waiting 2 minutes, then turning on router and waiting 2 minutes. Ethernet connection returns to primary computer, all other wifi devices fail to connect.
Oh well, bang goes that theory.
If this is a frequent event, have you thought of installing a "UPS"?
You talk of a "flicker", which suggests that it isn't a complete shutdown, so you might not need something that tries to power the whole house for hours.
So, the only thing that 100% fixes the issue is doing a factory reset. Really annoying and unfortunate but it must be the unit. Nothing else makes sense. I haven't thought about getting a UPS but I would probably just upgrade the router at this point. Really frustrating.

Sadly, I have to agree.

You could try older firmware, just in case it was a single buggy one.
