MN-700 does not acquire internet at power-up

I have my computer, modem, and router on a power strip.
If I power down for the evening, and power up the next
day, the router can't find the internet. Is there
anything I can do short of leaving the system powered up
24/7?

routers and broadband modems are designed to be left on 24/7.why not just
power down the computer?

No offense, but that's not an answer, if we want to power
down the router, why we cannot? Just for save the power
purpose.

Anyhow, the answer is you might want to power up the
cable modem first, then power up the MN700. The designer
of the MN700 never thought cable modem needs time to sync
and hense it fails to get a ip from cable modem when both
powered up the same time.

The alternative is to renew the ip from the MN700 admin
page after the cable modem is powered up.

Good luck.
