Treadmill causes router to reset to factory defaults

I recently got a treadmill desk on which I put a TV, Blu Ray player and powered speakers. I have had a problem where my router will reset to factory defaults if I use the treadmill more than about 20 minutes (just a guess, but I used it yesterday for 15 minutes and didn't have the problem). The router is in the same room. The blu-ray, TV, router and cable modem are all on a APC Smart-UPS SMT1000, but the UPS is on the same circuit as the treadmill. I'm trying to figure out if this is a problem with dirty power or power sags or something else.

I am presuming the problem is the treadmill as I can't imagine the TV, Blu-Ray player or computer speakers causing the issue. The treadmill doesn't have any wireless connectivity or anything like that. It is very simple.

Do I need a filter before the UPS?

I am going to try moving the UPS to a circuit in another room using an extension cable. There is only one circuit in that room. I didn't have time to try that this morning. I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this behavior.

Thanks

Welcome to the community, bmellow2

How about if you plug that treadmill in a different outlet?

    No problem. If it happens again, try to check other outlet which may be in a different circuit breaker.
    
    To be honest, this is my first time hearing it.
