Attention Wireless Router Users:
I often hear people complain about how their routers are failing. Often times, people will replace a router several times and yet their problems persist often times at the misconception that their bad luck may be due to a particular brand being inferior as a wireless router to another.

This is not the case! The culprit in most cases lies in your power source. What many people do not realize is that the power coming out of your outlet will jump from 110v down to 106v and in some locations can climb as high as 160volts. These rising and lowering voltage fluctuations happen constantly.

This brings me back to the topic of Wireless Routers. The chips in all of today's wireless routers are being pushed to their stress limits under standard conditions. The voltage irregularities in common power lines will over time cause these chips to be over stressed and fail.

If you have a router that is dropping your internet connection after you have been online for a period of time you are most likely experiencing this phenomenon. Over time, the amount of time it takes your router to overheat and fail will shorten until you are no longer able to utilize it.

There is a very simple solution for this situation, simply use a UPS back up system with a built in power conditioner or purchase a power conditioner without the battery function with your new wireless router. Do not purchase a spike arrester or surge suppresser for this since they will not protect your system to the degree most people are led to believe.

UPS and power conditioners will smooth out the low and high spots in your power, giving you a clean stable and safe power voltage that will protect your wireless router and other devices from damage due to voltage fluctuations. Audio systems, TV's and computers can also benefit from this technology as well, while producing cleaner audio and visuals that result from clean stable power.
