SXR80 Can’t Obtain IP Reliably After Power Cycle

I've actually got each satellite connected to a power strip. Unless by APC you mean like one of those back up units that can supply power for a while in the event of an outtage (my strip brand happens to be APC haha)...that sounds like a neat idea that I just might have to try. I actually don't have an issue w/ not getting an IP (I have the MAC address of the router set to a static IP on the firewall: the router just simply gets that IP via DHCP). The problem is the connectivity. All the same symptoms everyone in here reported i.e. magenta, periodically working for a bit then stopping etc. Seems like it takes roughly 30-60 minutes for everything to 100% fully shake out and stop having issues in this situation. The router and satellites don't have any internet connection for a long period after an outtage. Yesterday it was about 20m. The hardware firewall itself comes back up in 90 seconds. During the time when the Orbis lack a net connection (I can connect to the router's static IP most of this time time btw, it just shows no net connection), if I directly connect to an open port on my physical firewall I have a network connection. It's really weird that after an outtage, besides taking a while to just get a connection, when I do get one, it'll last for a bit, then periodically stop connecting, then come back, etc. It's like there's some long period where maybe the router and satellites are just having issues syncing everything or something (idk just spit balling). Next the I have an outtage I'll do more in depth tracking of the colors and everything as well as logs and follow up here. It's summer in Pittsburgh so that means any minute now my power will go out in a storm.

I should mention I just got these (router and 4 satellites) roughly 2 weeks ago directly from Netgear's site. After initial set up following the instructions I immediately upgraded to the latest firmware and then did my configuration. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.
