Hi there! Every time after a power outlet, the router turns back on, but there is no internet connection. What fixes the problem is hard resetting the router, which means i have to set it up again. How do i fix this? Thank you!

I know it sounds crazy, but after the power comes back up, power up the PC. Go to the router and unplug the power for 30 seconds and then plug it back in. Just give it a try.

If the problem is the router, and not your laptop, then you need to contact the company you have the router through. It is what is having the problems. You may need to have them replace it (if say a rental through ISP) or get a new one if owned by you.
