Anyone else have Spectrum with this issue?

Currently switched to Spectrum Fiber....Must better than previous cable company since they were no longer investing in our neighborhood.....Anyway, I've noticed every so often when power goes out and batter backup is depleted that the internet doesn't work. The spectrum modem is blue and working properly whereas the Asus router is showing no internet. Manually powering down and powering up the router resolves it. I believe that perhaps the router boots up quicker than the modem does and thats why it doesn't have internet? Curious if anyone else has had this issue and if so did they resolve it. Perhaps a watchdog type addon?? Thanks and Happy New Year everyone!

It sounds like the problem is boot sequence. It's unclear what battery backup you are referring to... ISP battery backups are typically small and only good for a few hours. Would a larger UPS (~850VA, one 12 amp-hour battery) to protect both fiber ONT and your router avoid the boot sequence problem for the most likely power events?

I have Spectrum but cable. So different modem but I do have a RT-AX86 Pro. My setup recovers every time with a power outage. My router boots prior to the cable modem.

Question: Are you using the. NID in Bridge Mode?
