The fibre modem has a battery, but if the power is out for longer than 20 minutes, the set-top boxes try to reconnect and fail before the modem comes back. At work I had problems with a computer room A/C that was installed without the proper delay relay needed to prevent tripping the breaker (located in a locked closet). I suppose we will need a whole house systemd to ensure all the circuits come up in the proper sequence. > My ISP supplied my modem/router years ago, then sent me a new one > recently.

I was using it for computers, access points, and the set-top boxes. The set-top boxes wouldn't talk to the replacement switch (I assume they use some non-IP ethernet protocol the new switch doesn't support). Fortunately it was easy to move the cables feeding the set-top boxes to my ISP supplied modem/router. -- George N. White III
