Wifi devices not connecting to rax75 after power loss

Power loss and doesn't allow all devices to get connected when power comes back. Sometimes it will work after power cycling the router again, or turning this off, then modem, turn on modem and the router and so on. Then update fw to the latest on and did these things still the same.

Its frustrating that devices do not connect automatically. Are the devices not renewing the IP address? Assigning a static ip sometimes work and will not do that for iot devices due to the volume.

Have you done a factory reset?

Static IPs are assigned to the device(s) itself and not on the router. On the router, you assign reserved IPs.

Meaning start all over again? No and it doesn't make sense to do that all time. Trying to find a different solution.

what modem/gateway do you have? 

Are you cycling the modem too? If so, power both off, then power the modem on (with nothing connected) and give it 2 minutes. Then power on the router and give it a bit to boot up.

Thanks but I tried all the power cycling for my router and modem.

Am not sure what my modem is but it's for fiber optic connection.
