The are i the UK in which I live has been experiencing power cuts from
time to time. Some for seconds, some for longer.

Before purchasing the high end router named above I had been using an old Netgear DG834GT router, discarded by my daughter.

whenever power was restored, the DG834GT automatically powered on,
whereas the D7000 does not, which despite its impressive capabilities
somewhat inferior to its predecessor.

Are there routers out there that recover after power cuts?

Have you tried putting
Nighthawk AC1900 power up
in the first box at

I would be impressed if any router was designed to not come back up
after power was restored.

The Arris modem/routers used by AT&T (forced on users of AT&T) actually
have a battery compartment so I bet it keeps running
until the battery runs down. That model is ArrisNVG589.

I got forced to put aside my Netgear router and my
separate modem to use this when AT&T decided that they wanted
all customers including resellers like DSLExtreme to stop using
twisted pairs of copper wire.

I haven't really noticed, but I am pretty sure that every router I have
owned has come back on when power was restored. The router sees no
difference between a switch flicked at your place and a switch flicked
at the supply company. The longest outage was about 24 hours. I don't
recall the configuration being lost, ever, but sometimes I have needed
to cycle: computer off > router off > router on > computer back on.

While power failures are fairly rare here (London, Ontario, Canada), they
do happen, usually during lighting or severe winter storms, or when some knucklehead knocks down a utility pole.

I've never had a problem recovering from a power loss, but have lost equipment (power supply and motherboard) due to a lightning strike on the utility pole across the street from my house.

I've since bought an APC Back-UPS XS 1300G system to protect my modem, router, two monitors, and a couple of desktop systems. I highly recommend using one.

I use the nut-server and nut packages to allow my systems to shut themselves down gracefully if the power is off for more than a few minutes and I'm not around to do it myself.

I believed the reputation of APS when it came to their UPS devices -
until I actually used one for a while.

I had a Smart-UPS 700 for several years before I woke up. Oh, it worked
OK, supplying power when the local utility failed to do so for whatever reason. (We once had an extended outage because an unfortunate squirrel invaded a switching station and chewed on some wires. Insulation these
days is often made from soy, and attracts rodents because of it. Big
problem with autos.)

The problem was that it would eat batteries. It used two 12V sealed
lead-acid batteries, and if I got 18 months out of a set I was doing
well. Usually, they would overheat and develop internal shorts. Once I
finally looked into it, I discovered this was a long-known problem with
the Smart-UPS line. It seems that APC didn't provide a way to trim the
"float voltage," and as components aged this caused the batteries to be constantly being charged.

Since then, I have switched to units from CyberPower, and have only had
to replace one battery in five years.

You didn't mention if you checked the firmware settings of the router.
It could be that there is one there that determines power outage behavior.

Thanks for the info. Guess I just got lucky so far. Bought my Back-UPS XS 1300G
in Sept. 2013. The first set of two 12V batteries died in Sept. 2017. Still on the
second set a month after the two year mark.

I will be rounded up in that direction myself, Bobbie

We are getting fibre to the node/kerb and the old pots system will be gone. This was done at great expense against sage advice to the contrary and
it now seems that 5G will pip it at the post

The fibre may be redundant before it get really going

I have a BiPAC 7800NXL which I have managed to get away with, ignorance
wise, not knowing its capabilities.
It is supposed to be fibre friendly. I can imagine this will not impress
the fibre installer who will come with his preconfigured Windows-centric
part of the deal modem.

Not looking forward to it.
The Billion modem manual is a substantial read

Mine does!
BiPAC 7800NXL
I believe that one of the one of the recommended trouble shooting eliminations is to power off and on.

It comes back up. It is not fast. There seems to be a lot of
handshaking and LED flashing before all settles down.

Recently had a outage (brief) but I lost an episode of some mini-series. However, when looking for a setting that might have prevented the auto restarting, I found that there was a recent firmware update and ran it.
So far so good.
