MN-700 router power loss reconnectoin issue

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

Every time I lose power in my house, my router goes
haywire and I have to spend 30 minutes of disconnecting
and reconnnecting cords to get back. I think it is my
router because the power light will disappear. I have all
the updated software for the router.

When I lose Internet, I power down both the DSL and the router. Then I
power up the modem, and let it do the "handshake" thing with the CO for a
solid connection. Once the lights are steady, I then turn on the router and
let it do its thing. Then I have Internet again.

If you're bring both online at the same time, the router isn't able to
probably converse with the modem.
