okay, so i'm guessing that you're using ADSL to connect to the internet and your connection would be something as follows:


Internet <--> Modem <--> Router <--> PCs in Network.

Or could it be as follows?

Internet <--> Router <--> PCs in Network.

Firstly, when you login to the admin page of your router, can you get to a logs section which shows you when connections are made, when they've failed etc?

Also, when the power gets cut, what order do you turn things back on? If you're using the first approach (or the modem is simply set as a bridge with the router doing the 'dialing') then you should turn the modem on first, wait for the status lights to come on then turn on the router..
