Google wifi ac1304 found a problem. It works if it is on, but if the power goes out, it restores. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Hi Achikzai,

 

Thanks for posting. I'm sorry to hear about the situation you are experiencing with your Google Wifi that restores after a power outage. Don't worry; help is here. 

The recommendation would be to do a manual restart when the power goes up again. Here is how:

  1. Disconnect the modem from its power source.
  2. Unplug the Ethernet cable and power cord from the parent point. In case you have another Google WiFi device, please complete the same process.
  3. Then leave everything unplugged for 2 minutes.
    • Check the make and model of the modem, and make sure there isn't a backup battery. If there’s a backup battery, remove the battery; otherwise, it won't perform a power cycle.
  4. Connect the power cable to the modem and allow the modem to fully turn on before proceeding.​ This process can take up to a minute.
    • All light indicators should be solid colors.
    • Connect the Ethernet cable, then the power cable, to the Google Wifi. Wait until the modem is fully back online.
  5. Connect the power cable to the other Google Wifi devices if available.

Please keep me posted.

 

Best regards,

Jenny
