my experience is that some consumer broadband routers have cheap power supplies that leaves them in bad states when PCs will pull through
you could put them on a UPS.
If your problem is that your router is unstable, you could just replace your router. Like, if you need remote access and you have a flaky router, that seems like a prime choice.
You could have a power control device or something and have another machine on your network set up so that if it loses Internet connectivity for some sustained period of time, it power-cycles the router.
If this is for when you're a long ways away, do you have a friend who you'd trust with a key and flipping a switch?
I expect that there are business-oriented routers that will have integrated watchdog features that will auto-reboot if they hang. I have not gone looking, though.
Possibly, if it's compatible with your use case, and uptime is critical enough here, having a second, backup server elsewhere, possibly not self-hosted. I mean, your connectivity is always going to be bounded by the reliability of your residential Internet connection otherwise.
I am looking into why it locks up, that's a fair point. good read, and useful tips. Thanks!
