its a wrt54g with dd-wrt.
has never given the least little bit of trouble.
network and wifi started dropping out followed by a reboot.
coincidentally my line voltage was going low.
low enough to trip avr on one of my ups and making another switch to battery every few minutes.
then the router started acting up.
at 99.5v ac in the wallwart was giving only 7.9v under load.
not enough headroom for the router.
it was an old iron wallwart that was original.
the router has polys and a 2200@16 on the dc in.
i suspect the cap in the walwart is long gone and the one i added 5 years ago allowed it to get by till the line voltage dropped.
about the time i noticed this i also noticed the internet stayed up while the ups was on battery.
so these things get marginal over time.
i recapped a switchmode wallwart and its stable again.
the line got to 97v and the ups stayed in battery till whatever was causing this was corrected at the substation.
a friend across town had problems with a pc rebooting.his line was 95v!
still expecting the substation to go boom like it has several times over the years.
i hear arcing noise in my hf radio.
