Could this have been the cause of my first outage in 7 months? I was wondering 
what happened. My router had a brief blip in voltage and rebooted. I was very 
sad to lose my 7 month uptime, even though it was just a 1 minute long outage 
(long enough for the EdgeRouter and AF24 to reboot). 

Thank you,
Brett A Mansfield
