I have two Linksys EA6900 configured with dd-wrt firmware v3.0-r42410. Both WIFI work continuously with OpenVPN client installed, but every time there are power outages, WIFI connection is lost when power comes back on. LAN connection are still working after power outages.
I have to disable Open VPN client, reboot the router and then re-enable the OpenVPN client to get back the WIFI.
With the VPN disable, I have no connection issues with the WIFI when there are power outages.
Is this the normal way of restarting the router with VPN every time there is a power outage?
egc: Problem still exits after the upgrade. Will have to read further on the sticky about OpenVPN. Hopefully, the VPN provider is going to include Wireguard configuration and maybe that will helps out.
eibgrad: Will think of a UPS in the future if power outages persist. Could be newbies working at the Power Utilities as most of the baby boomers are retired now and that is why so many outages now.
