Another possible failure mode is memory leaks.  I'm currently
debugging a problem I'm seeing on my build of OpenWrt, not sure where
the problem is (I'm investigating now) but I'm seeing a drop in
free+buffers+cache on the order of 2meg/day (user space doesn't seem
to be changing enough to account for that).  Your firmware will be
different, uses different hardware/drivers, etc, but it could have a
similar problem.  A powercycle would garbage collect any leaked memory.
