This is not an uncommon problem. But is the FIRMWARE in the units the latest from their makers?
Also, lockups are not uncommon with power dips so you can't complain unless you put it on some UPS. Besides the UPS, I find it best to put the unit where it can be "cool"? That is, not buried under other equipment.

Hi all, have a question about the recommendations of those of you that have a lot of experience with routers, I am new to the router racket. I bought a D-link router and hooked it up, and twice it has vapor locked on me and had to be rebooted. Luckily, I was home both times, and was able to reboot. But I want rock solid reliability, you're not always there to reboot a router. So, I bought a Linksys BEFSX41 wired router and hooked it up. Same thing has already happened with it, on the first day I have had it. So, I have a few questions I hope to get input on.
What do you consider the most reliable router brand? Is it common for the D-link router to freeze up like this? How about the Linksys, is it common for it to freeze up like this? If so, is Netgear or any other brand of router more reliable? Or, is it a problem you just have to learn to live with? And finally, how likely is it that this problem isn't the router at all? More likely to be the router, or the ISP? Thanks all. Sincerely, Steve
