RBK50 wont reconnect to internet after restart

My RBK50 worked flawlessly for the past 2+ years then recently we had a power outage and now it won't detect the internet connection. I can connect to the wifi network it broadcasts but it says no internet connection available. I'd I plug the ethernet straight into my xbox it works perfectly, but then I plug it into the orbi and "no internet available".

The most interesting piece is that it'll work fine after I do a factory reset, until the first time it restarts after I've set it up through the app. I cant go on living with a factory reset every time the orbi restarts. Helllllp before I revert to my trusty nighthawk 😞

How often does it restart?  My Orbi stays up for 70-80 days until I do something to it.

Please do not be tempted to think a firmware update will "fix everything".  Whether to leave 2.3.5.30 is still an open question.

It doesn't restart on its own, only with power outages or when unplugged. Never head issues in the 2 years I've owned it until now.
