I would expect routers from different manufacturers to be of varying grades of susceptibility to EM. And we don't have EM induced problems with any other devices in the house that we're aware of. Weirdly, its just been a nightmare to test, we ran a test with just the modem plugged in to the phone and power and nothing else, .... and we had no outages for 8 hours. Though we're not sure if its just the fact we weren't using it, or maybe just the environmental conditions weren't transpiring in the downtime to cause the problem. Sometimes, it reboots as frequently as every 5-10 minutes. Just so many variables which are seemingly random and no obvious black/white causality test. To test if it is EM, is there an easy way of generating excessive amounts of EM in close proximity to see what the threshold of EM failure is? -- Kent _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
