Troubleshooting A-3

Power outages

If you suspect that power was restored after a power outage, and the Netopia R2020 is connected to a remote site, you may need to switch the Netopia R2020 off and then back on again. After temporary power outages, a connection that still seems to be up may actually be disconnected. Rebooting the Router should reestablish the connection.
