DECO X75 can't boot correctly after power cut off in house.
DECO X75 can't boot correctly after power cut off in house.
Hi friends, I've experienced an strange issue, but I'm a bit worried because the way to fix it, was to reinstall all my DECO X75 units again.
I'm using a Router from my ISP Provider, which is connected to an ONT device by using RJ45 to get fiber connectivity.
Today I had a power cut off in my home. As soon the power at home came back all devices including the ISP router started to boot up. My ISP Routers takes long to boot up, maybe two minutes or even a bit more some times. As a result the X75 units were with the Red Light fixed. Once the ISP Router was ready and booted up, I waited a couple minutes for the Deco X75 Units to check if they were be able to setup correctly. Unfortunately nothings changed and the green light never turned on.
The X75 main unit was able to start the wireless lan, so from my mobile phone I was able to connect to the WiFi, but there was not gateway available to use internet. I checked my TCP/IP settings in my iPhone, and I could check the local IP provided to my phone (192.168.68.XX) was in the common range when you setup your X75 Units as Router Wifi, and not as Access Point ( which it is my case ), which usually takes a Dynamic IP from your DHCP, which in my case coming from my ISP Router.
So I could confirm then, my main Deco Unit was setup with a different configuration that I did.
After some reboots, and switch off of the rest of deco unitys, nothing worked.
So finally I had to create a new network, add the main X75 unit as Router Wifi, then change it to Access Point mode, and then turned on the rest of the Deco Units, and I waited for them to autoconfigure.
So I'm really worried about this behaviour because where I'm living is very common from time to time, this kind of power cuts issue.
Can you give me some kind of explanation about why this can happen?
Thanks.

@Alexandre. If the Deco could be configured with a static IP in AP mode, the Deco would promptly detect that Internet is reachable, and would immediately stop acting as a DHCP server.

Yes, it will. In situation described in this forum topic, Main Deco will answer DHCP queries on each of its Ethernet ports.

If Main Deco was not bounced, it will keep running with its IP address given to it by the router. In my home network that would be 192.168.0.131. It will also become IP address of DHCP server. It will also become default gateway and DNS IP address.
ISP Router with IP address 192.168.0.1 powered off, Main Deco stays on, AP mode, Smart DHCP option enabled, Windows PC renewed its IP address from DHCP server:

@Alexandre. As long as it is not restarted, acting as a DHCP server and as a LAN gateway should not prevent the Deco to detect that Internet is reachabe again, just like a Deco in router mode does.
Why does a power failure not similarly affect a Deco running in Router mode combined with an ISP Router sensitive to the presence of another DHCP server?

@Alexandre. I tried these steps, and still have red light on my Deco! any advice?
