Hi @BBCC ,

I assume you're using the HH4000, which has no backup battery. If you are concerned about power outages, you should plug your Home Hub into a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply).

This will give you sufficient time to properly shut down the modem and any other gear you have plugged in to the UPS.
