Ethernet Locks up, Router requires reset every week

Let the network stay in this powered-down state as long as you can. (Minimum 2 minutes, an hour+ is ideal, in my experience).

What kind of capacitors in these devices are holding charge as much as even a couple minutes? Seriously. No other type of gizzard will outlast a condenser, I'd reckon. Leave the power switch on and yank the plug for quickest depletion, I say... 20 to 30 seconds should be entirely sufficient.

No capacitors are required.

The entire 'charged/powered' system is one.

So what's the actual difference between 10 seconds and 10 minutes powered down?

 

[L&LD]

One where the power down works, and one where it doesn't, from past experience.

Physics...

 

[L&LD]

Experience.

Either way I’ll give it a shot tonight.
