"Why do we have to restart routers?"

[thewayne]

Yesterday afternoon a post went up on Slashdot wherein this guy wails that he always has to restart his Linksys WRT54G wireless router. And my first thought is: "Whaa? Nani?" What the heck is this guy talking about? I've been using that router for ages, I've recommended it to others who've used them and they've been pretty much trouble-free

They definitely get squirrelly in brownout conditions. We've had to reboot the thing maybe twice in the last year and a half in Texas compared to several times a week back in Utah where there are a lot of serious brownouts.
