Recovering from a power outage MK80
My new MK83 has to be unplugged and plugged back in. For it to catch the signal again.
Is there anything I can do to the settings. So that it will recover from a power outage on its own?
I know there aren’t many users with this model. But I doubt this is the only netgear router with that problem.
Thank you.

What actual modem/gateway is it connected to?
I've seen it where the router is booting up faster than the modem and not pulling an ip address unless rebooted.

Re: Recovering from a power outage MK80
So I was wondering if there is a way to set a delay on the router or to have it retry the connection automatically.
I’ve been reading the forums and I guess my issue is nothing compare to what some people are facing when dealing with power outages.

power outages are great at wrecking electronics.
A cheap UPS might not be a bad idea becaues the MK system is rather expensive.
I bought one after getting a rather expensive router wrecked from storms.
I don't know of a way to delay the start

Re: Recovering from a power outage MK80
Your power goes out for 12 hours? wow.
Look at the amps/volts on your modem and your router.
so take your volts x amps. That gives max wattage it uses.
and add it to the modems.
Then x12 (12 hours). that'll give you how many watts you need.
12 hours is quite a while to cover. I have a smaller 400 watt usp just to cover periods where its out for shorter periods.
