I have a very peculiar situation that Fios tech support has not been able to assist with, so I am wondering if anyone can provide suggestions for me. I am on my 3rd G1100 and whenever I unplug the device (or there is a power outage), it literally resets EVERYTHING. So yes, the entire device resets to when I received it with the original login. What makes matters worse is that I have a smart home, so all the fixed IPs and setup are basically down the drain.
Now, the first suggestion I get as a workaround is to save the router config, which I have done countless times. The problem is that when I load the config after this router reset, about 95% of the time it either fails or just brings my wifi settings back. The other 5% of the time, I am lucky enough to get my 25 fixed IPs back named correctly and organized. Normally I just give up after 5 attempts to load the config and restart the process of fixing the IPs from scratch.
So obviously, the go-to option for the tech guys is to replace the router, but clearly that isn't the issue when I am on my 3rd. Where I go from here, either than leaving Fios, is a mystery. I should be able to set up my router/modem and forget it, not deal with all of this insanity. Just for informational purposes, I have cable/DVR/phone etc. and everything works fine. I also have the Network Extender on the other side of the house.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
