Just wanted to point out that the good capacitors are also Chinese.

Gear get really hot for an extended period of time? I've seen stupid
stuff start happening when capacitors are getting ready to go. I
suppose the same thing can happen if caps absorb a surge. Just an idea.
Mikrotik using crappy chinese capacitors.. nah, never.

I would look into faulty wiring and recommend isolation of devices to
see if problem follows device ...

Subject: [AFMUG] Somewhat OT: Random reboots
I’ve been having the strangest day today with my network. It all
started with a sudden reboot of my core router. Made no sense to me
at all until Sterling mentioned the brownouts (my core router sits
right next to many of his switches in the same cabinet).
Next, another core router reboots about an hour later. No power loss,
no indication of issues, just a random reboot caused by a random
kernel panic.
Then three hours later, two of my netonix switches rebooted with no
warning.
I’d say my network is being hacked, but there no manual commands
triggered. It is just out of the blue.
Maybe the solar eclipse did it? Or maybe I made some celestial being
angry? Whatever it is, I just want it to stop!
I can see having reboots several times one one device, but one time on
almost every device in such a small timeframe is paranormal.
Thank you,
