Well utilizing this protocol I was able to get the
OK so for an update, I have left only Voxel on for 2 days and everything was Golden until the major wind storm occurred here this morning (Vancouver BC). When the power went out, all the devices went down. A few major things that happened were
A) the r9000, experienced the issue it always does on any firmware which is unless you software reset via the reboot button, a power cycle causes an issue when the next boot freezes during or near the POST sequence before the unit is fully booted. The solution is simple but odd. Perhaps some has some insight on the matter. Essentially because I use the SFP+ port the only solution is to take the fiber cable off and pull the eject bar and reattach the two together. Now the unit will finish the boot process and the wifi lights will come on and of course this time the WAN light is off. I can then insert the SFP+ module and in a few minutes I am back online.
The problem here is a power outage when I am not at home would mean that someone would have to perform this sequence to return it to full operation which is a slight drawback, which I guess could be a major issue one day if I can't explain how to do this protocol over the phone.
B) both the r7800's had SIMILAR but not the same wifi issues I was experiencing before. This time I noticed how the symptoms differed though. Although both units fully launched and were accessible the homepage said the wireless was online on both units. But I couldn't even attempt to connect with one as on my android device I couldn't click the line item for the router. The other would attempt connection but would drop immediately. I tried many times and other devices were the same one would drop immediately the other wouldn't even attempt to connect. Power cycling didn't fix it multiple times until I shut off both units and turned on one at a time with the cables detached, attaching them after the unit had fully launched.
One thing that crossed my mind is that I have unit regular lan port from the r9000 to Wan port on the r7800, the second r7800, is then connected from lan port to Wan port. They both also work when I don't use any wan ports but that seems incorrect in my mind. Is there a preferred configuration for attaching access-points? Should I avoid Wan ports altogether?
Anyways this is long winded again but I want to say that this time it worked after NVRAM default, NVRAM commit and NO restore from backup... This changes everything !!
What I would want to say to a new user or anyone else is :
1) Like Kamoj had said DO NOT EVER use restore function its broken and the symptoms are NOT apparent for sometimes many hours and normally when you are least expecting it. Which as you can imagine is CRITICAL with a router. Having 3 just made this even more complicated. Compounded even further with the next point.
2) There are SOME issues that are able to be overcome that appear similar to the first issue. In this case the issues are resolved by what I discussed in this article.
3) In the past I would assume this was the same critical issue which we have seen from restoring an old firmware. Not knowing of the the issues with the firmware restore, I would simply start all over and being that the setup takes hours I would attempt a backup, restore. : AGAIN NEVER DO THIS
Once again respect is paramount and love the help immensely.
Thank you guys
