Router randomly restarts; UPS not helping
Router will randomly restart. I'm on the latest firmware. I disabled most logging and it's still occuring. I can't determine whether the cable modem is restarting around the time of occurrence. Could the modem be issuing a restart command and is there a way to disable that? I thought it might be power line issues but even with a UPS with brownout/dip protection it's still occurring. What's interesting is that I lose internet on my laptop before the router lights all go blank.
Help!

Only a number can confirm that. Too many people turn up here with misguided "latest" claims.

Do the router's logs have any clues?
