Why is my Yamaha rx-v673 not recognized on my Network?

There was a power outage in my neighborhood, and after power was restored, my RX-V673 was recognized in my network. The AV app on my iPhone and iPad now can operate the receiver, and Airplay works too. Apparently the power outage had the effect of resetting all my equipment, from the modem to the router to the receiver.

What does the Yamaha rx-v673 AV receiver look like?

The RX-V673 shares the same design as the other 2012 Yamaha receivers in the RX-V family so it looks pretty unique as there is a brushed metal finish on the bottom half of the front panel and a smoother black finish on upper half where the display is situated.

Can a Yamaha rx-v673 be used for airplay?

This may seem useless if you can use AirPlay, but this also allows your Apple device to be charged. The remote control of the RX-V673 may also be used to control the playback functions of your iOS device. If you own an Android tablet or smartphone, there is a free Android version of the Yamaha AV Controller app.

What kind of audio does a Yamaha AV receiver play?
