Question Router damage?

[Guildive]

I recently had a momentary power outage, and ever since I cannot get all of my devices back on Wi-Fi. I have power cycled the router and modem multiple times, and each time I can get a different variety of devices back online, but there are always a couple that were fine before that disconnect as a result. If I cycle again, those may come online while others are knocked out. I’ve never had this issue with any other power outage before. I thought that the router might have been damaged in a power surge, but would it still be providing a signal to most of my devices if that were the case?

This sounds like a DHCP problem. How many total devices (wired and wireless) do you have?

 

[Guildive]

About 15 wireless devices taking into account PCs, phones, consoles, TVs, and smart home accessories. One wired printer.

You should log into the router and check the number of DHCP addresses. It will usually show up as either a number of a range. Make sure that there are at least 50.
