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. I just so happen to live in an area that has an outtage once a month, so you can imagine the frustration I am having. Beyond that, I have a smart home with wifi cameras, so all the fixed IPs and setup are basically down the drain when this happens. Just the concept of not being able to unplug the G1100 without it resetting is mind-blowing to me, by the way.
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 frustrating.
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.
