I have had Peplink routers for years. My current Balance 20X has been well configured for a couple of years, but recently, I have been having a problem after power failures where the router gets stuck obtaining a new IP address after a power failure. Reboots of it and my Arris modem do not help. I determined that an old Asus router had no trouble getting an address, and once it had done so, I could plug the WAN cable back into the B20X and all was well. After that, I determined, I could fix the problem by unplugging the WAN cable from the B20X and simply plugging it back in. This is inexplicable to me, because I would have thought that rebooting the router and/or the modem would have had the same effect, but it does not.
Of course, I want the system to be self-sufficient so I don’t have to be on hand to unplug the device after problems. Could this be a setting or firmware issue? I am running 8.3.0 but see there is a Beta for 8.4.0. Thanks!
