Mesh Wifi 6 after power outage
yeah I have the same problem in Northern california where the power company turns off the power everytime its windy. For a router with zero physical power button to be unable to recover from a disruption is beyond stupid.

Re: Mesh Wifi 6 after power outage
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
Just did a simulated power outage for 1 minute with my MR and after I powered it back ON, got internet services. It's using latest FW v.132 currently.

Try upgrading the CAT cable to CAT6A and update the FW to v.132 on the MS first then the MR lastly.

Re: Mesh Wifi 6 after power outage
Thats ok. Sometimes NG doesn't push FW via the auto update feature. Mine didn't see this either. It's ok to manually update though:
• What is the difference between WiFi 6 and WiFi 7?
• Yes! WiFi 7 is backwards compatible with other Wifi devices? Learn more
