Recovering from a power outage MK80
So I supposedly upgraded from an apple time capsule. That is about 10 years old. If not older. This thing always recuperated from a power outage. Without me having to do anything.
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.
- Is the spectrum cable company issued. I believe is an ubee eu2251. And yes. This modem takes forever to load. But I’ve been using it for the last 5 years and the apple time capsule never needed to be power cycled . I know I could get a power backup. But with a 10 to 15 year newer piece of hardware. I shouldn’t have to go backwards to make it work.
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
