Obi-100 & Router Resetting

(1/1)

rodan:
Where I live, I get the occasional electric power outage.

If I need to reset my Obi-100, ( unplug the ac adapter from the back of it ) and,
my router ( unplug the ac adapter from the back of it)

what is the correct sequence?

Should I " reset "  the router first
then the Obi-100?  or vice versa?

thank you

Mango:
The correct sequence is to reboot the router first, and then only if necessary the OBi100.

However, it should not be necessary to reboot any equipment after a power outage.  If your OBi doesn't work after rebooting your router and waiting a few minutes, post more details here and we can help you fix it.  If your router won't operate after a power outage, you may wish to post in a networking forum such as DSLReports for more help.

Ok, reboot router first, then, the Obi, if necessary.

I've used the Obi with GV for almost a year and a half, and, presently on PP.

Rarely have I had to reboot these devices, but, I have. 

I just couldn't remember which of the two devices to reboot first. I have been doing it
in the procedure you mention.

If I do have any problems with connectivity that relates to the router, I will check out
dsl forums.  Everything actually works pretty good right now. We had some storms come through, a couple of weeks ago, that caused some internet connectivity problems.

Thank you.

A cheap UPS powering just the Modem, Router & Obi makes for a lot less headaches over time.
