Every time the power goes out, not when I unplug the router, only when the power goes out, the DSL won't connect. I have tried unplugging both the router(Linksys BEFSR41) and the modem(got it with SBC Global DSL, it says speedstream on it) and plugging them back in in different orders or whatever. I eventually end up running the router setup thing and it usually fixes it, only problem is it has to be connected to the internet first to complete the setup. This requires a bunch of moving of cables(put pc directly into modem, connect, go back, put it like it was, run rest of setup) and since my router is in the basement with my pc in the upstairs, it is a pain, especially when it doesnt work. Getting my DSL back up after a power outtage takes at least an hour, every time the power goes out. Does anyone have a suggestion on a way to fix this? Maybe a program that configures the router without having to mess with changing all the cables? Or a way of unplugging all the cables from the modem and router and plugging them back in to make it work or something? I'm goning to try updating my router filmware(its a year old, its always done this though) or my modem filmware(kinda hard if I dont know what model it is tho)
