Power LED blinks random

HI, I had a R6300 for 7 years.  For some time it began to happen that the rooter stops working and the power led is blinking. After disconnecting the rooter for a few minutes it starts working again....

   Probably.

 

   Test/swap the power adapter?

I have no other adapter to test with. 

How can I test the power adapter?

    Hello, is it possible to know how much is the maximum amount of artifacts that the r6300v1 router supports? Can the problem of the issue happen to reach that figure?

      I suggest trying a different power adapter if the power blinking led still has issues. If its not the power adapter maybe the capacitors in the router might be going out.
