I shut down my machines and battery backups overnight tonight just in
case we lost power in the middle of the night. As far as I can tell, we
didn't lose power. So, I turned things back in in the recommended order:
cable modem first, router second, computer third. And since the cable
modem is not in the living room, and my computer is upstairs from there,
I had more than the requested time between turning each on.
This morning's speeds are similar to yesterday's:
9 ms 119.63 Mbps 6.07 Mbps
While I couldn't think of anything big to download, I did try a 36.7 MB
mp3 transcription file, before shutting down last night, and again after
starting back up this morning using Filezilla. Its reports are similar
to each other:
Last night:
Response: 150-Accepted data connection
Response: 150 35792.5 kbytes to download
Response: 226-File successfully transferred
Response: 226 7.532 seconds (measured here), 4.64 Mbytes per second
Status: File transfer successful, transferred 36.7 MB in 7 seconds
This morning:
Response: 150-Accepted data connection
Response: 150 35792.5 kbytes to download
Response: 226-File successfully transferred
Response: 226 7.376 seconds (measured here), 4.74 Mbytes per second
Status: File transfer successful, transferred 36.7 MB in 8 seconds

I would expect it to reboot itself if the power goes off, but I wouldn't
expect it to reboot on its own otherwise.
Another thought is that the cable modem is one of Comcast's tall boxes,
which includes a router. So now I have a router before my Buffalo.
Perhaps it rebooted itself somewhere along the line.
