OK, thank you for the reality check. I read online that someone had a router that would remain "on" for some brief time - enough time that the UPS kicked in before the router shut down. Ya, funny that there's no short-term battery function given the Tesla connection. ☹️

I have similar questions. Power failure last night and no internet for 3.5 hours. I thought it would reconnect on its own but it did not. I unplugged the router and plugged it back in once (not knowing about this 3 times bit - was this Elon's idea??) and internet returned after 15 minutes or so. Is this typical? I travel a lot and obviously cannot plug and unplug the router. I've ordered a UPS based on your (ricochetstarlink) recommendation, so thanks for that. What I'd like to know is if this is typical for power outages and what troubleshooting method should I employ? I'm not convinced my unplugging the router is what fixed it but I really have no idea. Also, is there any built in battery to keep this running for even very brief times of power loss? A UPS is going to have some delay while it switches over to battery, I believe. Looks like tonight is going to be a repeat given the thunder/lightning at the moment.
